Get rid of "Merge logins" page
Dantemss opened this issue · comments
JP: dante and I have been talking about merging in accounts; there’s a problematic case where users could potentially accidentally merge their accounts
actually maybe that’s not the right way to say it; potentially users could add an authentication they didn’t expect (or have one added to their account)
we’re thinking about possibly making the “merge logins” page into:
"Haven't seen you before, are you new?"
"Yes, continue with registration"
"No, log me out so I can try another login"
where this last option is a twist on what we have now — instead of letting them add more and more authentications, they get logged out and get to try to login again
this would in general lead to people having only one authentication and not multiple. however we’d add a new tab on the profile page for a user to manage their authentications. here they could remove facebook and add google for example, or if they really wanted, they could put in 3 authentications so they could click any button to login.
And as an alternative to the “merge logins” page above, we could take them directly to the last page of the registration process as long as there is a bright red “escape” button to the side that says “hold the phone, jones, I already have an account here!"
@karenc if you choose to do this, I would coordinate with Jason to make sure he's OK with this.
This has been done.
