Migrating out of Kinde connection for social auth
If I let users sign up with blank social auth keys (i.e., using Kinde keys for Discord, Google, etc), will I be able to somehow migrate those users out at some point? I imagine they would have to grant permissions again, but can I link their data from before and after?

The short answer is yes. New users - even ones who sign up with social auth must verify their identity with Kinde at least once. They usually do this via email or phone number. Meaning the email or phone is their identity and can be exported. If you changed services and added the users to a new system, they may need to verify themselves again, but the export of the identity is not an issue.
Makes sense! I probably should've worded this better--is that done automatically in case I go from blank keys to my own keys? For example, let's say Google hasn't approved my app yet, so I left my keys blank and let users sign into my app with Kinde's keys. Once my Google app is approved, can I just put my keys in the settings page and expect my users to be automatically migrated when they sign in again?
