How to have unique emails with Python social auth

Question

I'm using Python Social Auth (Django) with Google and Facebook and it creates different users with the same email. How do I fix that?

If I log first with Google, logout, and then with Facebook, it must just associate the accounts and not create.

After some code reading I found this in the pipeline:

'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_by_email',

So, I just added it before

'social.pipeline.user.get_username',

And it worked.

Note to readers: there's a documented privacy concern here, which is why the default setting is off. In short: you're depending on the security of email validation at each of the third party auth providers. – Bryce Nov 22 '13 at 09:15
Do you have to be logged in? It seems if you are not logged in, it creates a new account. – Val Neekman Apr 01 '14 at 03:56
