OAuthAccountNotLinked - Imported data from another website - Autolinking

Question 💬

I have OneLogin setup in my application and is working fine. Am using MongoDB database for storing the sessions, accounts and users.
And now, I imported user data from my old WordPress website(which doesn't uses OneLogin, but the native WordPress login).

So basically I imported the user data from WordPress and populated the users collection using the email_id, name, etc. When I login with the OneLogin into my application, it throws the error saying OAuthAccountNotLinked. When researched I can see that you are not recommending the auto-linking of user accounts for safety reasons. But in my case, it's a OneLogin provider that my client's organization that has now started using. And new OneLogin user registrations are manually approved by the admin. So security wise it won't be a problem. We are only using OneLogin as auth provider!

How can I setup auto-linking in this scenario? Because I have 10,000s of Users in my MongoDB collection(imported from old WordPress website). And each User is being requested to manually register at OneLogin using the same email id they were using before in the old WordPress website and is manually approved within the OneLogin.

Thanks

How to reproduce ☕️

Using OneLogin as auth provider, with MongoDB containing 10,000s of Users in the collection.
