Is it possible to link multiple identity providers to a user profile with Entra External ID?

Question

I am testing Entra External ID and want to know if I can allow a user to link multiple external identities to their profile. This would mean that they could log in using different providers (such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook or Local accounts), but still be the same user. I want to know if this is possible with Entra External ID and how it can be achieved.

@Louis-Philippe Perras Yes, it is possible to link multiple identity providers to a user profile with Microsoft Entra External ID ¹². This allows users to log in using different providers such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, or local accounts, but still be the same user ¹².

To achieve this, you can create a sign-up and sign-in user flow that allows users to sign in using multiple identity providers ³. You can configure the user flow to include the desired identity providers and then link the user’s external identities to their profile ³. This will allow the user to log in using any of the linked identity providers and still be the same user ³.

You can also use the Azure AD B2C custom policies to link multiple identity providers to a user profile ¹. This allows you to create a custom policy that includes the desired identity providers and then link the user’s external identities to their profile ¹. This will allow the user to log in using any of the linked identity providers and still be the same user ¹.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
