 * Hello, we are working on a large user migration for a client. Their current system
   is NOT WordPress, and their next system will be WordPress running Paid Memberships
   Pro. We are planning on exporting and then importing over all of the accounts
   that currently exist in the old system and creating WordPress accounts for each
   of them. However, some of them currently use Google and Facebook as their login
   method, which we have done on other sites with your plugin. If these users come
   into the new system, how could we make sure they are able to access their account
   via the social login? Is this even possible or do they need to reconnect their
   account via your plugin? Is there some data that could be exported from the old
   system that would make this easier?

 * Also, I forgot to mention, all of the accounts will have the same email address
   in the new system that they had in the old system, in case that helps.

 * Hi [@hrood](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hrood/)!
 * With an account, only the email address matters. So it doesn’t matter if originally
   it comes from a different Google or Facebook login, only the WordPress user’s
   email address would be important for our system. There would be two cases, when
   a user is already registered on the website:
    1. The user tries to login with our plugin with a social account that uses the 
       same email address that is used at the WordPress user:
       Our system automatically
       connects the social user with the already registered WordPress user.
    2. The user’s social account’s email address is different from the WordPress user’s
       email address:
       We have a shortcode, that you could provide for logged in users:`[
       nextend_social_login link="1" unlink="1" heading="Connect Social Accounts"]`
       This could be used for the given user, that after logging in using traditional
       WordPress login, our social login button could be pressed, to connect his/her
       social user with the current WordPress account.
 * So with our plugin, users would need to reconnect to their account, with either
   of these methods.
