How to Link Accounts in Identity Platform
How to Link Accounts in Identity Platform
Account linking allows you to connect your social sign-in accounts (e.g., Google, GitHub) to your Identity Platform account as an additional authentication method. This enables seamless sign-in using multiple identity providers.
Prerequisites
Account linking is available only if the built-in identity provider is enabled in Identity Platform.
For more details, refer to this guide.
Linking a Social Sign-In Account
- Go to the Connected accounts page in your user settings.
- Select Connect for the social provider you want to add.
- Unless you’re already signed in, you’ll need to authenticate with the external identity provider to confirm the linking action.
- After successful authentication, the social account will appear as connected.
Unlinking a Social Sign-In Account
You can unlink a linked account directly from the Connected accounts page in a self-service manner. You can also unlink accounts using a Juju action in Charmed Kratos. For detailed steps, see the How to manage users guide.
Limitations
- You can only link accounts from available identity providers that you haven’t previously registered with.
- Each social sign-in account can be linked to only one user (identity) in Kratos.
