Is it usual for Android to create two accounts per player?

Hello,

Whenever I create an account on Android I get one PlayFab and one Android account. Is this normal? If not, how would I fix this?

Yes, that's normal. Or rather, you did it incorrectly. You should use Login() for the first method and then Link() for any following.

You used Login() twice with different methods and that results, of course, in two different accounts, because they don't know of each other.

If your intention is to only create an Android account for the player, then it is unusual to have two accounts created. Usually, you should call only one account creation API, and if you want to add other login method for the player, you should use the link API. For example, you can call Authentication - Register PlayFab User to create a PlayFab account and use Account Management - Link Android Device ID to add Android Device Id info.
