Deprecating google-oauth2 connection

Hi @julia1 ,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

I understand that you want to migrate users in the google-oauth2 connection to the Username-Password-Authentication connection.

I tried updating the connection type with the PATCH user by id endpoint, but it does not recognize the new connection type. Looks to me this is not feasible.

So I suggest you set up Auth0 Account Linking. With this tool, users can sign up with the Username-Password-Authentication connection and link this account with their Google account.

We have two articles explaining how this works.

https://community.auth0.com/t/how-to-implement-client-side-user-initiated-account-linking/81199/2

Meantime, let’s see if anyone else in our community can shed some light on this topic.

Thank you.
