Sign in with social uses the same account

Previously when signing in with different methods we would create duplicate accounts, even if they had the same email address associated with them. This was annoying. 😿

As of today any method you use for sign in will take you to the same unified account, as long as you are using accounts with the same email address.

This works across Facebook, Google, Apple, and email/password sign in.

* Note that if you sign in via Apple and hide your email address, we won't be able to match you with an existing user account, and we'll create a new account. 🕵️‍♂️
