Thank you very much for helping on this, Much Appreciated!

I would love to see improvements on the "Social Authentication" process, making the third party ID as primary identifier, instead of the email.

I hear you. I’ll talk to the team about how we can do better.

I work in the public service sector. When we're architecting OAuth2/OIDC integrations we specify using a unique identifier like a guid or some otherwise immutable id as the federation id. This way other attributes that may be ephemeral can change at will. It's not always easy determining this but it's worth it.
