## 📊 **Cross-Authentication:**

### **Question**: Can Google user login with email/password?

**Answer**: **YES, after setting password!**

### **How It Works**:

**Before Setting Password**:
```
User: dewe.pw@gmail.com
Auth Methods: [Google OAuth only]
Password Hash: null
Login Options: Google button only
```

**After Setting Password**:
```
User: dewe.pw@gmail.com
Auth Methods: [Google OAuth, Email/Password]
Password Hash: $2b$10$...
Login Options: Google button OR email/password
```

### **Reverse**: Can email/password user login with Google?

**Answer**: **YES, if same email!**

When user clicks "Continue with Google":
1. Google returns email: `dewe.pw@gmail.com`
2. Backend finds existing user with that email
3. Creates Google OAuth link
4. User now has both methods

---

## 🔧 **Backend Requirements:**

### **1. GET /api/auth/accounts** - Check auth methods
```typescript
Response: {
  accounts: [
    { provider: 'google', ... }
  ],
  hasPassword: boolean  // NEW: Check if password exists
}
```

### **2. POST /api/auth/set-password** - Set password for Google user
```typescript
Body: { newPassword: string }

Steps:
1. Check user has no password (passwordHash === null)
2. Hash new password
3. Update user.passwordHash
4. Return success

Response: {
  success: true,
  message: "Password set successfully"
}
```

### **3. POST /api/auth/change-password** - Change existing password
```typescript
Body: {
  currentPassword: string,
  newPassword: string
}

Steps:
1. Verify current password
2. Hash new password
3. Update passwordHash
4. Return success
```
