Linking accounts after Anonymous sign in?
In my React Native app, I'd like to give users an authenticated experience without requiring them to sign-in via OAuth. Users can later link an authentication method to their account when ready. I see that there's an Anonymous provider, which I plan to use on app start. Will calling sign-in later with an OAuth provider link the anonymous account?
I'm trying to migrate existing functionality I have with a Better Auth instance + their anonymous plugin.
I see there's an Account Linking section in the Advanced portion of the docs, but there's no mention of the Anonymous provider, so some guidance would be helpful
Thanks!
