 Different providers give us different levels of default access, so if you're still uncomfortable with the level of access we'd get from a specific provider, you can use a different provider, or simply use a username and password to sign in instead. The whole idea behind Social Authentication is to allow you flexibility with the way you identify yourself to us so that you can do whatever is most comfortable for you.
-== If I use my Google account for authentication, can I use a different email address as my preferred contact method? ==
-Yes. iDigBio has attempted to make the account creation process as intuitive as possible and automatically populates the "email" field required at registration with  the Gmail address of the trusted Google Account. At any time, you can edit your preferred contact method by visiting https://www.idigbio.org/auth/register.php while logged into iDigBio.org.
-Also, iDigBio will never overwrite the "email" field of a previously created account that is merely adding a Social Identitier.
-== How many identifiers can I have? ==
-You can have any number of Social Identifiers associated with your iDigBio account, including multiple accounts per provider.
