The ugly workaround I found for the time being:

- Enable local logins

- Create users beforehand via the API

- Create a new Component in the theme

In a nutshell, I allow local logins but hides the sign up button, and when the log in modal shows (wether it’s coming from a click on the log in button, the reply button…) the modal is hidden and it simulates a click on the OAuth2 login method.

You can throw stones at me until I figure out a cleaner, lower-level way to do this 🙂
