Question

Hello great first impressions with supertokens and has the right features and direction I see that account linking isn t implemented yet Just to clarify accounts created via email + mobile otp passwordless will not be able to be linked with the ones created via social login correct In that case if I start with passwordless and then once account linking is implemented and then turn on social login can the accounts get linked or I might have to run a custom migration

Hey < indy>

rp · Answer

Right now no accounts created via different login methods can be linked

rp · Answer

Once we have the feature you will have to manually link the existing accounts using our SDK functions and also merge existing data from the accounts that are being linked

rp · Answer

Any future sign ups will auto merge accounts to existing accounts though so no action needs to be taking for them

Alright thanks for clarifying

Great stuff

rp · Answer

An idea is that for now you could implement account deduplication with supertokens so that users can sign up with the same email using different methods

rp · Answer

So that when we have account linking you can enable that instead and no migration will be required

Here is how you can implement this https supertokens com docs thirdpartyemailpassword common customizations deduplication overview
