I am implementing User Account Linking using Account Link Extension.
If a social account with the same email already exists, I have confirmed that the current account is linked to the previous account.
However, if a Passwordless account is registered first, I have confirmed that the social account registered later is not linked to the Passwordless account. as the document guide, I’ve enabled the Customize Login Page
As stated in the document, is Passwordless account not supported by this extension?
If so, why are Passwordless accounts not supported?
Can’t you just send a code to the email and authenticate it like when logging in?
Also, the same applies to cases where an Email/Password account is registered first. I have confirmed that the social account registered later is not linked to the Email/Password account, and the login flow is not properly followed in the Extension, causing malfunction.
Unfortunately, as stated here, passwordless connections, flows started using device authorization, and the SAML and WS-federation protocols are not supported by the Account Link Extension.
If you’d like to advocate for such support you can go to our feedback category here and vote for this feature:
In the meantime, if you still want to link accounts that are not supported by the Account Link Extension, you will have to create a custom solution using Actions and the Management API.
If you have any questions on implementing it feel free to let us know.
