Multiple users can register with the same email address with default app

[crewshin]

While registering users with a default app, it's possible to register multiple users with the same email address. It does however check if the username exists and prompts the user to change.

anyone objects for also making the email address field unique?

I have no objection - but we should implement a mechanism to resolve the use of multiple social accounts with the same email. IMO they can just be joined with the existing account info.

[crewshin]

Fully agree with Roie.

@crewshin identities and providers are being discussed in #337. You may want to subscribe to that issue and chip in with your 2c.

[SOSANA]

Any updates?

[ilanbiala]

@SOSANA the plan is to handle that through #343, which needs to be merged into 0.4.0 rather than master. @sielay needs to create a new PR for 0.4.0 to avoid having lots of merge issues later on.

Since this moved to #343, and #343 was closed, can we close this issue?

[lirantal]

@codydaig #343 is closed until we get that PR against 0.4.0 so maybe we leave this thread open still.

[codydaig]

I believe this is taken care of now in #439

[lirantal]

right, I'll close this @crewshin unless you spot any other problems with the fix in the latest 0.4.0 branch then you're welcome to re-open.
