Authorize more than one provider for one user

[KroniK907]

Hello,

Looks like this plugin has been kinda quiet lately but appears to still work great!

Does this plugin allow for a user (once logged in) to authorize more providers? I would like to have a bit of logic available on the login() method that would allow for a user to authorize a second provider once that user is already logged in on my site.

Hey @KroniK907, that's not supported out of the box, but you might be able to make something work based on this existing functionality:

Happy to look at PRs for stuff involving linking accounts.

The biggest challenge is dealing with cases where accounts would need to be merged. If someone logs in with Facebook, then logs in with Google a few days later (while not already logged in via Facebook), they would have two accounts now. Trying to merge the data when linking would really be totally different for each app, so it's always going to require a bunch of work for the end user.
