Their new store relies on legacy customer accounts integrations with Salesforce and other tools to facilitate warranty and repairs flows that are critical to the business. However, we were all taken by surprise to discover that you can no longer toggle back to legacy accounts on new Shopify stores as of Thursday, and their new store was still set to new accounts at that time. Is there a way to allow temporary access to legacy accounts for a specific store while we work with them to develop a solution using new accounts?\u003c/p\u003e","post_number":21,"post_type":1,"posts_count":41,"updated_at":"2026-03-03T04:50:10.208Z","reply_count":1,"reply_to_post_number":null,"quote_count":0,"incoming_link_count":2,"reads":66,"readers_count":65,"score":43.2,"yours":false,"topic_id":31724,"topic_slug":"legacy-customer-accounts-availability-update","display_username":"Nic Oliver","primary_group_name":null,"flair_name":null,"flair_url":null,"flair_bg_color":null,"flair_color":null,"flair_group_id":null,"badges_granted":[],"version":1,"can_edit":false,"can_delete":false,"can_recover":false,"can_see_hidden_post":false,"can_wiki":false,"read":true,"user_title":null,"bookmarked":false,"actions_summary":[{"id":2,"count":1}],"moderator":false,"admin":false,"staff":false,"user_id":2744,"hidden":false,"trust_level":2,"deleted_at":null,"user_deleted":false,"edit_reason":null,"can_view_edit_history":false,"wiki":false,"post_url":"/t/legacy-customer-accounts-availability-update/31724/21","reactions":[{"id":"clap","type":"emoji","count":1}],"current_user_reaction":null,"reaction_users_count":1,"current_user_used_main_reaction":false,"can_accept_answer":false,"can_unaccept_answer":false,"accepted_answer":false,"topic_accepted_answer":null},{"id":79985,"name":"Eric Kwoka","username":"ekwoka","avatar_template":"/user_avatar/community.shopify.dev/ekwoka/{size}/888_2.png","created_at":"2026-03-03T09:33:58.651Z","cooked":"\u003cp\u003eSo what is an ACTUAL replacement for Multipass? where we don’t have access to the third party login process?
