if installing the socialite package, should I create a new user table?

Hello everyone, I need tips or suggestions. About when installing the socialite package from Laravel. Should I creating a new user table for every drivers that I have. So for example I want to make authentication integration with Google, and than should create a new table like users_google and etc. Or I just need one table for it like using users table.

Because if I'm not created a new table, I afraid that users table can have the same data.

Thanks everyone 🙏.

@adnanerlansyah403 You don’t create a new user. You should be associating third-party profiles (i.e. Google) with users in your application.

So I registered user should be able to associate a Google account with their account on your site. Then later when they log in with Google, you can look up the associated user account on your service and authenticate them.
