    url: 'http://localhost:3003/email/send',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    },
    method: 'POST',

    data: {'email':email,'password': password, 'number': phonenumber},
    success: (data)=>{
      console.log('YOU SEND THE DATA TO THE BACKEND!')

  console.log('failed');
});
