All the instructions on both Discourse and Patreon’s site instructs end-users to claim benefits by registering a new account via Patreon. What about veteran/existing end-users, or those that register via an alt login type (Facebook, etc)?

How does Discourse know a user is a Patron if they never linked the account in some form?
Apparently, this feature got approved in 2018, but does not seem to be working (unless there’s some setting I checked to hide it, but I cannot find such):
However, this is all that shows up to a user that doesn’t have 2FA:
Only FB? Discord may have been a 3rd-party plugin (I can’t recall - why this associated account link would be off-topic), but Patreon is the official plugin – how come there’s not a Patreon connect link for existing accounts?
