12/02/2022, 1:42 PMHello, 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?

12/02/2022, 1:48 PMOnce 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.

12/02/2022, 2:04 PMAn 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

12/02/2022, 2:05 PMSo that when we have account linking, you can enable that instead and no migration will be required

12/02/2022, 2:06 PMHere is how you can implement this https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartyemailpassword/common-customizations/deduplication/overview
