[Question] SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION behavior w/ email verified

[mecampbellsoup]

If we enable SOCIALACCOUNT_EMAIL_AUTHENTICATION either globally or for a specific provider, I'm wondering whether this has any relation to whether, for that provider, we also require the received email address to be marked as verified by the provider?

The docs state:

Consider a scenario where a social login occurs, and the social account comes with a verified email address (verified by the account provider)

but how would this setting behave if we, say, configured provider_settings["VERIFIED_EMAIL"] = True?

Email authentication only kicks in for verified email addresses. If the provider does not hand over verified email addresses, yet, you force them to be interpreted as verified, then email authentication will work. See is_email_verified() of the socialaccount adapter.
