user_email_already_exists

I am trying to login with xyz@gmail.com via discord provider but i get the error code 409. I have checked auh and i don't see any user registered with that email.

OAuth Provider Signing me in With Different Email already facing other issues here

also if i try to login with xyz@gmail.com via google provider then it works

even if its due to an identity being created for diff user why is this error shown with discord provider

wait is this also an intended behavior ??

yes, the user will need to link the discord identity first

but thats not possible right

because xyz@gmail.com is linked to another user via google provider

or u mean smth else

it is possible. it's possible to have multiple identities with the same email.

the user would need to log in first and then create an oauth2 session with discord. that will create a new discord identity linked to the user. They'll then have 2 identities: one for google and another for discord.

so the user needs to have session for xyz@gmail.com via google provider

and then create the discord oauth session?

or if u mean no session should exist then i get user_email_already_exists error

they need to already have a session

isnt this unintuitive for the user .. like if they log out from app then by default they will think that any oauth provider + account combo should work?

or maybe giving devs an alternate option to have 1 identity max per user in auth?

it's a trade-off

i understand.. should i make a feature request for the latter because then no extra identities will be linked to user right + devs will have more freedom?

you could...but i would suggest showing the user an error and maybe telling them to use the same provider before. In addition, you may want to build out a screen that allows users to connect accounts

yes i can do that but then again there is OAuth Provider Signing me in With Different Emailin which browser session can go undetected and can lead to problems client sided like i wont be able to display the screen

also at starting as a dev u might not wanna waste time on building a complex oauth.. tho yea it can be beneficial to implement it later on
