[Answer]-Python Social Auth: Not change info for existant user when associating account

✅

What I did in the end was create a new function for the pipeline that calls the existing populate_info that is by default in the timeline, but only if it’s a new account (determined by ‘is_new’ in kwargs):

from social.pipeline.user import user_details

def populate_info(strategy, details, user=None, *args, **kwargs):
    if (kwargs['is_new']):
        user_details(strategy, details, user, args, kwargs)

on settings.py :

SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = (

    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user',
    'social.pipeline.user.get_username',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_by_email',
    'social.pipeline.user.create_user',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data',
    'myapp.auth_pipeline.populate_info',
)
