Hello everybody,
I have been working on using Google and LinkedIn to sign into my application, but there seems to be some issues.
What I did: I hook up the Google API and LinkedIn API correctly (I have use both the plug-ins, the manual API, and even patthfix) and I still seem to have the same problem.
Problem: When a user creates an account through my sign-up process, he then cannot go back and use the Google or LinkedIn sign in to sign back into that account if the user logs out. However if a user creates their account with the Google or LinkedIn sign up then they have access to sign in with these google/linkedin buttons.
Only solution I found on forums : I have found a workaround and that is; If a user creates an account through manual entry, they can only use the Google/LinkedIn sign in if they sign in with their Google/LinkedIn account while they are currently logged in to their account created manually. This method sort of verifies the account with the account in the bubble database. However, I don’t want to use this method as it is an inconvenience to the user to log in and then log in again with the linkedin/google buttons.
Aim : I want bubble to recognize the Google/LinkedIn account email and allow access to that specific account created manually with the same email. There should not be an extra step where they would have to “connect” in a way by logging in while they are already logged in. Most websites currently have this solution that I want, so i know it is possible.
Any Idea how to tackle this? Any advice is appreciated!
