navController.navigate(signup + "/$textEmail" + "/$textPassword")

You can use an optional parameter with default empty string value:

composable:

composable(
    route = "$signup?emailFromSignIn={emailFromSignIn}&passwordFromSignIn={passwordFromSignIn}",
    arguments = listOf(
        navArgument("emailFromSignIn"){
            type = NavType.StringType
            defaultValue = ""
        },navArgument("passwordFromSignIn"){
            type = NavType.StringType
            defaultValue = ""
        }
    )
) {

navigate:

navController.navigate("$signup?emailFromSignIn=$textEmail&passwordFromSignIn=$textPassword")
