Even if you use GaeGoogleLogin the auth_user table contains both id and email (as provided by gmail). Now if you switch from GaeGoogleLogin to local authentication and email everybody a link to reset the password they will not need to register again and therefore they will retain the current id. I have not tried this but should work.
For example you can make a script that does: auth.messages.reset_password = 'You must reset your password. Click on the link %(link)s to reset your password' for user in db(db.auth_user).select(): auth.email_reset_password(user) Now the issue is, if they cannot access GAE for login, would they receive the email?
