    If I change google account and set back up the api keys will users lose their accounts or have to set back up with google?

    Hi @unknownman888

    In case of Google it won’t cause problems as currently the different Google apps return the same ID for the same user.

    But in case of other providers, e.g. Facebook that might cause a problem for the users trying to login to their WordPress account with their Facebook account, because Facebook uses App scoped User IDs, which means each app returns a completely different user ID even of the same user, so in their case you should never replace the Facebook App. You can learn more about this limitation here:

    We usually try to display a warning for the configured providers where we are aware of such limitation.

    Best regards,
    Laszlo.
