How to manage user authentication providers

Defining a provider per user is a security measure designed for specific scenarios. For example, it's applicable when dealing with high-trust users who must set up a fallback mechanism for authentication. The system should allow these users to use an alternative option whenever primary authentication fails.

Another situation that requires this measure is the definition of a provider other than the default for a specific user. For more information, access the document on How to manage authentication providers.
