Yes, Ory allows users to link their accounts to multiple social sign-in providers. This can be done manually through the user's account settings page or automatically using a secure flow. For manual linking, users can follow these steps: 1. Configure at least two sign-up methods in your Ory project. One of these methods must be through a social sign-in provider. 2. Go to your project's Ory Account Experience at
https://$<http://PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/ui|PROJECT_SLUG.projects.oryapis.com/ui>
and sign up. 3. After you sign up, go to Account Settings and navigate to the Social Sign In section. 4. Select one of the buttons to link an available social sign-in provider. For automatic linking, the process works as follows: 1. The user creates an account with an identifier (like an email) and a password. 2. When signing in later, the user clicks to sign in with a social sign-in provider. That social sign-in account contains the same identifier. 3. Since the identifier is registered already, the user cannot be logged in directly. Instead, the user will be prompted to enter the password chosen in step 1. 4. After entering the correct password, the social sign-in is linked to the user's account. Now they can sign in with either password or social sign-in provider. However, automatic account linking can be a security risk. To prevent unauthorized account linking, users need to verify an additional credential before the accounts can be linked. Please note that users can only link their accounts to social providers you configured in your Ory project. For more details, please refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/social-signin/link-multiple-provider-account).
