Link User Identities - Flutter SDK
On this page
Atlas App Services provides multiple authentication providers to log users into your app. Each provider creates a unique user identity. App Services lets you merge multiple credentials into one user identity.
You can link identities by passing the Credentials that you want to link to User.linkCredentials().
final linkedCredentialUser = await user.linkCredentials(additionalCredentials);
Example
Consider an application that offers anonymous login. This allows users to explore the app without
registering. If users like the application, they create permanent
accounts. They sign up with SSO or email/password authentication. By default,
this creates a new User object. The app must link the new
identity with the original User.
We must first register the new email/password user before linking.
// on app start without registration final anonymousUser = await app.logIn(Credentials.anonymous()); // ... user interacts with app //... user decides to sign up for app with email/password auth final authProvider = EmailPasswordAuthProvider(app); await authProvider.registerUser(USERNAME, PASSWORD); // link email/password credentials to anonymous user's credentials final linkedCredentialUser = await anonymousUser .linkCredentials(Credentials.emailPassword(USERNAME, PASSWORD));
