    hello. I have created an account with Facebook (for example, login is example@mail.com). Then i would like to authorize with twitter (which also has registrated with mail example@mail.com). In the end of this, i would like to have an account which has got twitter and Facebook link. but when i authorized with twitter the said that email has already exist. What the problem ?
    P.S. Link social account to already existing account, if email address matches – checked

    Hi,

    You can link Twitter to the account you created using Facebook login, using Social Account Linking interface from user profile page at the website.

    Ok it works thanks. But what the problem with authorization? For users it’s not userfriendly and this problem only when you try to authorize by twitter AFTER Facebook or google. If you try first to authorize by twitter and then by fb or google – it work’s perfect.

    If you first authorize using Twitter and verify the email provided, the account created has a verified email address. Then if you login using another social media account that provides a verified email address that is already registered at the website, there is no problem in logging that user in as the email is verified for both, the existing account and the social media account that is being used to login later.
    But if you provide an email address already registered during Twitter login, it increases overhead to verify the submitted email address for Twitter too.
    In short, to keep the plugin simple, you need to provide an email address that is not already registered.
