convex auth - multiple auth account for one user
I'm working on authentication for my new app using convex-auth.
We'd like for our users to be able to:
1. sign up with phone number (I followed the twilio OTP example from the example repo)
2. Update the user object to have an email, name, and password.
3. Use email and password for signing in later.
I'm struggling to see the best path forward given the examples. Does it make sense to have multiple authAccounts all tied to the same user? How can I get the ResendOTP flow to connect to the same user I've created?
Thanks for the help!

I've got the twilio OTP and resend OTP working independently - but pretty much struggling to have the resend email verification tie to the same user
I'm considering if there should be one authAccount - which has a password (stored in secret) - and is tied to the user which has the email / phone number. Does this sound like the right approach?
You should definitely have separate auth accounts for the two methods
