### Task Summary Separate user profiles from authentication mechanisms by creating a dedicated auth_provider table that unifies local login and third-party OAuth under a single interface. This opens the door to adding new authentication services in the future such as Github, Facebook, and other such services. ### Problem Storing authentication data directly on the users table forces new schema changes every time we add a login provider (e.g., OAuth) and turns users into a bloated "god table." ### Related Discussion Discussion #6716 ### Key Benefits Unified Interface: Local auth becomes just another provider (provider = 'local'), removing conditional code paths. Security: Isolates sensitive credential data from standard user profile queries (SELECT * FROM users). Extensibility: Easily add new login providers without schema modifications on users. ### Task Type - [x] Refactor / Cleanup - [ ] DevOps / Deployment / CI - [ ] Testing / QA - [ ] Documentation - [ ] Performance - [ ] Other -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
