[firebase_auth]: account linking not working

[avinashk369]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues.

Which plugins are affected?

Auth

Which platforms are affected?

Android, iOS

Description

in my flutter application i have following auth providers for login

• google
• twitter
• facebook
• apple

account linking is enabled in firebase authentication setting.
Expectation is to link providers to single account but actually getting account-exists-with-different-credential. surprisingly these is a case when it works as well.

working case -

1. login with any providers available except google
2. log out to the application
3. login with google with same email
4. account linking works seamlessly

not working case -

1. login with google first
2. logout to the application
3. login with other provider except google with same email
4. exception thrown account-exists-with-different-credential.

Expecting account linking handling seamlessly and automatically or should provide an option to link account manually even when user is not logged in.

Reproducing the issue

google sign in

try {
      
      final GoogleSignInAccount? googleUser = await googleSignIn.signIn();

     
      final GoogleSignInAuthentication? googleAuth =
          await googleUser?.authentication;

      
      final credential = GoogleAuthProvider.credential(
        accessToken: googleAuth?.accessToken,
        idToken: googleAuth?.idToken,
      );
      
      return _signInWithCredential(credential);
    } catch (e) {
      log(e.toString());
      rethrow;
    }

twitter log in

i have twitter app properly set up and i am also able to get user email post authorisation from twitter

try {
          TwitterAuthProvider twitterProvider = TwitterAuthProvider();
          
          return await FirebaseAuth.instance.signInWithProvider(twitterProvider);
        } on FirebaseAuthException catch (e) {
          if (e.code == 'account-exists-with-different-credential') {
           /// exception caught here
          } 
        }

Future<UserCredential?> _signInWithCredential(
      AuthCredential credential) async {
    try {
      // Try signing in with the provided credential
      final UserCredential userCredential =
          await _auth.signInWithCredential(credential);

      return userCredential;
    } on FirebaseAuthException catch (e) {
      // Handle account exists with different credential error
      if (e.code == 'account-exists-with-different-credential') {
       ///
      } 
    }
  }

Additional context and comments

No response

[avinashk369]

requesting to reopen this as well 13467.

reproducing this only has to make one change in firebase console authentication settings.
change the account linking settings from

• Link accounts that use the same email

to

• Create multiple accounts for each identity provider

However signinWithProvider or signInWithCredentials makes entry in the firebase with email and provider info but it doesn't return into UserCredentials.

[SelaseKay]

Hi @avinashk369, the account-exist-with-different-credential error is expected as your account is already tied to a different provider. This is clearly stated in the doc. Kindly let me know if this helps.

Hi @avinashk369, the account-exist-with-different-credential error is expected as your account is already tied to a different provider. This is clearly stated in the doc. Kindly let me know if this helps.

Thank you for considering the request. as per the doc it says, first get all the sign in methods and then ask user to use that method for login then you can link the account.

• List<String> userSignInMethods = await auth.fetchSignInMethodsForEmail(email);
  fetchSignInMethodsForEmail is deprecated in firebase_auth

• if this is the intended behaviour then how come account linking works seamlessly when the first sign in method is different provider than google.
  steps to check - login with facebook/twitter/email -> logout to the application -> now login with google.
  in this case you will not get account-exist-with-different-credential issue and firebase account linking will merge the existing provider with google.

let me know if i can provide you any additional info required.

[MichaelVerdon]

Hi there, thank you for the information @avinashk369 can I just confirm I am understanding the issue correctly? So the error "account-exist-with-different-credential" is thrown only when you use a Google provider with an existing account or is the Google account the first one registered then any other provider fetches the error? If what you described is true that is definitely odd and I am happy to investigate it 😄 .
