This is a generic issue for us too; not just migration-related. I also would support consolidation/merging of Postorius users to solve this. In fact, there are a few inter-related blockers for us: a) authenticating as the wrong email address + attempt to add subscribed email as alternate (especially happens with social-type logins where correcting the authenticated email is a pain) b) cannot social-authenticate as an email address which is an alternate, not the primary c) attempting to social-authenticate as an email address which exists but has no account ... at least I think this is what is described by https://bugs.launchpad.net/postorius/+bug/1227461 (no matching gitlab bug) Eric
