I was linked to this topic when I had similar questions / ideas in a topic I posted.  
After reading it however, it doesn’t appear that much happened after the idea was discussed in April 2016.

The idea of having accounts where an external provider can be associated and disassociated from an account is one I like as a Discourse Admin\* and as a user of various Discourse powered forums.

I’m curious if there has been any progress on implementing this idea in the nearly two years since this topic was posted.

\* Discourse Admin Note: Thus far I have wanted to use Discourse as a forum for a personal web site but have not got around to finishing the setup of it and am the only user in my current Discourse forum.
