Automatically Link Accounts with the Same Email Address

Hi Kinde Support,
I'm facing an issue with account linking in my app. Currently, a user can create two separate accounts when signing up with passwordless email and Apple Auth.
Is there a way to automatically link these accounts by default if they use the same email address? If not, what would be the best approach to handle this scenario?

Hey @Max Barinov

in the config for the Apple you can check the trust email addresses checkbox and this should do what you want

Thanks mate 🙌 Have a great weekend 🙂

Worth noting though Apple do have a hide my email feature which if a user uses then we don’t get access to the email to do linking - but assuming they aren’t using that feature we can link

Is it possible to link such accounts manually?

It would be tricky to know which ones to link as there would be no commonality, they send a totally random email through. In theory though you could manually (or via API) add an identity to an existing user with the hidden one and delete the old one

I don’t think many people have adopted it to be honest, just thought I’d mention
