1253269 - make it easier to fix account for use

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

When we pull down an anonymized db dump and load it into a dev environment database, it's impossible to log in with an existing account with Persona until you've fixed the data for that account in the db. This is because the data has been anonymized and that process involves removing all email addresses and wiping the socialaccount_socialaccount able among other things.

In order to fix the account, you have to create an entry in socialaccount_socialaccount, fix the email address for the user in auth_user, fix the email address in account_emailaddress and then sacrifice a tree frog that's not too big and not too small. Acquiring a tree frog is difficult depending on the season and the rest is a pain in the ass.

This bug covers writing a management command to do it.

Grabbing this since I wrote it already.

This only works with Persona accounts. I tried to do the least amount of work possible. It's "clever" enough that if you run it twice, it doesn't do anything bad.
