Python social auth PROTECTED_USER_FIELDS issue

Question

I have setup Python Social Auth as below,

SOCIAL_AUTH_STRATEGY = 'social.strategies.django_strategy.DjangoStrategy'
SOCIAL_AUTH_STORAGE = 'social.apps.django_app.default.models.DjangoStorage'
SOCIAL_AUTH_USERNAME_IS_FULL_EMAIL = True
SOCIAL_AUTH_PROTECTED_USER_FIELDS = ['email', 'first_name', 'last_name']

my pipeline is as below

SOCIAL_AUTH_PIPELINE = (
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_details',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_uid',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.auth_allowed',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.social_user',
    'social.pipeline.user.get_username',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_by_email',
    'social.pipeline.user.create_user',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.associate_user',
    'social.pipeline.social_auth.load_extra_data',
    'social.pipeline.user.user_details'
)

As per the settings, if a new user log in with a social account, the user details should be created with first_name and last_name. what i am getting is a user with blank first_name and last_name. if i remove SOCIAL_AUTH_PROTECTED_USER_FIELDS i am getting first_name and last_name when new user is created.

So how do i get first_name and last_name when new user is created, and never update those fields on next login?

If somebody looking answer for this question.. Check if your protected fields from PROTECTED_USER_FIELDS are in USER_FIELDS = [...]
