# Configure account transfer

### Login method transfer

If **User management > Authentication > Login method transfer** is enabled, if a user attempts to link a login method that is already linked to another account they own, they can choose to transfer the login method to their currently logged-in account.

**Once the login method is transferred to the current user, the previous account will then be deleted.** Please ensure that the embedded wallet associated with the previous account has either been exported or that its assets have been transferred out prior to the account deletion.

<Info>
  Currently, login method transfer is only supported when the orphan account is associated with a
  single login method (the account to transfer). We are working to allow for transfers of login
  methods without full deletion of the orphan account to allow for login method transfer when
  multiple login methods are linked to the orphan account.
