AlexJ Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Is it possible to have something like phone based validation? i.e. user needs to provide the number to register and they get verified through email + phone voice or text one time pass code? or Any similar add-on?
Joel R Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Phone based activation isn't supported at the time, but you can turn on multi factor authentication (which is usually tied to a phone) to provide an additional level of security. AlexJ 1
Management Matt Posted August 27, 2019 Management Posted August 27, 2019 We do use Authy as a Two Factor Verification method, if that's what you mean? This is where it'll send you a one time code over SMS which you enter in the 2FA box after logging in. AlexJ 1

This is where it'll send you a one time code over SMS which you enter in the 2FA box after logging in. My use case is to have one user account per phone. This way I can avoid users from creating multiple accounts so that they can't spam / troll with multiple accounts. But i think your suggestion will work too i.e. they need to enable 2FA before posting and hence indirectly achieve above use case.
6yaffiliate Posted September 4, 2019 Posted September 4, 2019 I'm interested also in Phone based activation at registration. I'm building a community and the email registration is not an option for me. If anyone knows something, a programmer, somebody who can help me to develop a feature like this, please let me know.
Monique DUFOURNY Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 +1 Yes, I am also interested in this option. I want to secure areas on the forums. I want a Phone -> User association. I also want to be able to block phone changes. When a person enters a certain area of the forum. I want SMS Code to authenticate the person. This is for areas such as boards of directors.
