Is it good practice to use email returned from SNS OAuth account?
Is there any chance for this situation happening?
Alice creates an account with her email
alice@example.comon my system.Bob registers a new account on some OAuth provider (Ex. Google, Facebook, Twitter, ...) with Alice's email
alice@example.com. However, on the OAuth provider system, his registered email is not activated. Because he can not access Alice's emailBob uses OAuth provider account to login to my system. My system uses his OAuth account to retrieve his account information from the OAuth provider, including email address (
alice@example.com). My system recognizes that there is an account already associated with thisalice@example.comemail, i.e. Alice's created account in the step 1. And just link the OAuth account into Alice's account and let Bob login into Alice's account.
Is there any reference from OAuth authentication definition that forces OAuth provider to only return safe email address?
Thank you
