Feature request: make authData an array

[markuswinkler]

I am sorry if this is the wrong place, not sure where to post a feature request.

Details:
Right now it's not possible (as far as I know) to use different OAuth methods for the same user account.
I login with Facebook, a user is created. I login with Twitter, another user is created and so on.
Ideally it shouldn't matter what OAuth method (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, ...) a user uses, they should all point to the same account. Amazon already does this with the Cognito service that returns the same unique ID independent of the OAuth provider.
I am wondering if something similar could be implemented with parse server, maybe even by leveraging AWS Cognito.

I'm pretty sure you can already link multiple social networks to the same user. Check the linking section of doc here: https://parse.com/docs/rest/guide#users-linking

Once you have signed up or logged in with say a twitter account, submit a PUT request with FB authData and a valid user session token to link Facebook to the same Twitter based account.

I haven't tried it yet but if you use multiple oAuth in your app you should give it a try and see if it works as intended.

@tanmays could not have said it better.
