Handling OAuth Registration Errors for Unverified Accounts in Rodauth: Expected Behavior and Possible Solutions

[Halvanhelv]

Hello!

I have a question regarding the registration and verification process for users. I noticed that when a new user has registered but has not yet completed the verification process, and tries to register through OAuth with the same email, Rodauth displays the following error: "The account matching the external identity is currently awaiting verification." Is this behavior expected? And is there a possibility to change this process to avoid such errors during registration through external services?

Thank you for your help!

Interesting, it might make more sense if rodauth-omniauth made the account verified in that case, because that's the case when the account is created through OmniAuth login. What do you think?

I think so, it would make more sense to just verify the account automatically anyway

I agree, I will try to make that change sometime this week.

I took me a while, but I just pushed 159b940 to master, which I plan to release soon.
