Several sites I use are using the Auth0 service. I noticed that on all of these sites, when I log in using my personal GMail address, the username it pulls is from a separate, business Google Workspace account. These two things shouldn’t be linked anywhere, my personal GMail is a separate email address and separate account from the business account.
Could someone help me figure out why this is happening, so I can fix it? Feels a little like a violation of privacy.
Hi @gnlambert and welcome to the Auth0 Community!
While it would look like Auth0 is linking your accounts, I can assure you that it is not, and your privacy is kept. What is happening behind the scenes is that your browser stores a session of the accounts you use. When you click on a “Sign in with Google” button, Auth0 redirects you to Google (the identity provider), and Google checks your browser for a session to know what accounts to display for you to choose from.
I can’t give much insight into how to set up your Google accounts so that this doesn’t happen, but perhaps using different browsers for personal and business accounts could work.
Have a great day!
Teodor.
