Describe the Bug

I followed the instructions here to setup PocketID with Karakeep.

Here are my environmental variables:

      OAUTH_WELLKNOWN_URL: https://pocketid.url.org/.well-known/openid-configuration
      OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET: "xxxxx"
      OAUTH_CLIENT_ID: "xxxxx"
      OAUTH_PROVIDER_NAME: Pocket-ID
      DISABLE_PASSWORD_AUTH: false
      OAUTH_ALLOW_DANGEROUS_EMAIL_ACCOUNT_LINKING: true

Despite enabling account linking, I can't seem to get it to link my existing account with pocketID. Everytime I try to login, it just creates a new user.

Is there another setting I need to enable or something else I have to do for it to link the two, instead of creating a new user upon login?

Steps to Reproduce

Setup Pocket ID
Add envs
Login with Pocket ID

Expected Behaviour

For it to link my existing user account with the token.

are both emails(for oauth and your existing account) identical? If you check the admin page, you'll probably see differences between the two emails
