Description
We implemented login.gov about a year ago. When working with login.gov the best practice is the use the login.gov user UUID as the source of truth for who the user is. However, we had to transition users off our old legacy login system and didn't know when they would all be fully transitioned. So we implemented a back up check that said "if we don't have user UUID in our database, but we do have the user email, assume it's the same user and write the UUID to that entry in the database for future use."
That transition should be complete now, so remove the email backup check.
