Authentication using Facebook at first and then Google causes an error in Firebase for Android
As I understand from the Firebase Docs, if a user authenticates his account with a credential, he should strictly login by using the same credential if the credential is not linked with another one yet.
In other words, if I create an account by using Google sign in, and then (after sign out) try to login with Facebook credential by using the same email that is used for Google credential, I should see this exception in logcat:
"An account already exists with the same email address but different sign-in credentials. Sign in using a provider associated with this email address."
And yes, I get this exception unsurprisingly. But if I create an account by using Facebook, and then try to login with Google credential, the provider of this account (Facebook) is converted to Google. This time authentication does not fail but it is not the expected result. I want to associate each user with a specific credential in a way. How should I fix this? You can see the code below:

Answer
Go to Authentication > Sign-in providers, click Multiple accounts per email address and Allow creation of multiple accounts with the same email address is what you are looking for.
