Question

Identifo: Users collection uses `string` as the type for `_id` attribute instead of `ObjectId`

Identifo is using Users MongoDB collection to store the users' information. The unique _id attribute though is using the string data type which is not used in newer versions of MongoDB anymore. We need to store the MongoDB _id attributes as ObjectId instead of strings.

I believe this one is not relevant any more, we are using strings for object ID

@erudenko I still think that Identifo should be compatible with the ObjectId BSON type as this has been a default field type for _id attributes since earlier versions of MongoDB. This will become an unnecessary blocker and extra work for whoever wanting to migrate and start using Identifo.
