I was thinking about this because it sounds like such a small product decision, but I don t think it actually is.
Someone signs up with Google. Six months later they are on their iPhone and tap Sign in with Apple. Same person, different identity provider. And if they use Hide My Email, you may not even get the same email address.
So what should the product do?
Creating a new account feels wrong because now their history, billing, settings, or subscription can end up split across two profiles. But automatically linking accounts based on email also feels risky, because now you are assuming that matching email addresses are enough proof that both identities belong to the same person. And then Apple makes it even messier because the emails may not match at all.
the one year free offer for startups is honestly such a smart move, basically lets you build the whole stack without cobbling together five different auth tools.

one layer for users + agents is smart 👏 auth is def heading this way

@petrkovacik Thanks Petr! Agreed, once agents started acting for users the split between "user auth" and "machine auth" stopped making sense. Curious how you're handling it at Macaly, are the apps people build getting agent access into their stack yet?
