Noted something similar in a UX session with @rralian Logging in with Apple, Bob gets an error:
Even though he is using Is it possible that the “dot” (period punctuation mark) isn’t considered valid? |
This is a more significant problem if you have a passwordless account, since the passwordless account will only prompt you to log in with a magic link. (It won't give you the password option to connect your account.) Here's what the flow looks like:

I agree with this sentiment. This seems less like a security measure and more like an oversight. @Tug I see that you worked on the login block quite a while ago.

I can still reproduce the original issue, where I can't connect social login with an existing account using an email login link. @heavyweight I can also log in without any issues with the email login link, but when I visit https://wordpress.com/me/security/social-login after that I don't see a connected Apple account for social login. That said, this was discovered a long time ago during beta testing. If we haven't received customer reports about it, it's very possible not a real problem for people. |

A/C
Context
Steps to reproduce
We found a WordPress.com account with the email address “[YOUR_EMAIL]”. Log in to this account to connect it to your Apple profile, or choose a different Apple profile.
A valid email is needed to create a WordPress.com account.
What I expected
I expected to have my Apple account connected after logging in, no matter what login method I chose. (Or I expected to not see login options that wouldn't complete the connection.)
What happened instead
I got stuck with this error:
