This documentation provides a reference to the retrieveProviderIdentity method. This belongs to the Auth Module.
You should only use this methods when implementing complex customizations. For common cases, check out available workflows instead.
</Note>This method retrieves a provider identity by its ID.
const providerIdentity = await authModuleService.retrieveProviderIdentity("provider_123")
