CB Connect / users logging in differently was created by breinicke

I am launching a new site and the following problem is a forward thinking concern.
If someone initially sets up their account using a Facebook login but later wants to create a regular login, or even us a google login... is there a way to provide either a transition process, or to merge different logins together?
I just foresee the possibility of user-bloat where someone may end up logging in two or three different ways.

Logging in with Facebook creates them a CB/Joomla account, they're welcome to unlink their account from the CB Menu if they rather not login with Facebook anymore. If they want to also login to that same account with their Google account all they need to do is click the "Link" button while logged in and link them together.
