I’m the admin of a Discourse forum which mainly for China Mainland users, so our the governing law(网络安全法, 互联网跟帖评论服务管理规定 and 互联网论坛社区服务管理规定) required we must use real-name system. That means we must force users link phone number. I tried to use Alipay’s API to get user’s phone number, but only their Mini Apps / Programs’ developers can get users’ phone number. The main problem is we must verify users filed phone number is their real phone number.

Can you use QQ’s implementation of OAuth2.0? OAuth2.0简介 — QQ互联WIKI QQ登录是QQ互联的一种接入方式，通过接入QQ登录，用户可以使用QQ账号直接登录接入的站点，QQ登录同时提供API授权，帮助网站主将用户操作同步到QQ空间和朋友网； [image] Discourse OAuth2 Basic Plugin discourse2 Summary Discourse OAuth2 Basic supports basic OAuth2 providers, assuming they have a JSON API endpoint where user details can be retrieved by token. open_book Install Guide This plugin is bundled with Discourse core. There is no need to install the plugin separately. Features This plugin allows you to use a basic OAuth2 provider as authentication for Discourse. It should work with many providers, with the caveat that they must provide a JSON endpoint for retri…

OAuth 2.0 just can allow users Sign In with their QQ account, it can’t get user’s real phone number.

You can create a custom user field asking for a registering user’s phone number and make the field required.

I think the Facebook Account Kit is a good option for this. I don’t think there’s a discourse plugin for it tough.

[image] lucasbasquerotto: I think the Facebook Account Kit is a good option for this. I don’t think there’s a discourse plugin for it tough. Is there any good video tutorial for this? Can you guide me to one? For this to use, do I need to install oAuth 2 plugin?

I haven’t implemented it for discourse, so I don’t know exactly how to create a plugin for that, but in my implementation: 1) I already had an application in the Facebook for developers site (if you don’t have, just create one) and then just added the Account Kit product there. 2) Then I loaded the Account Kit script in the front-end: AccountKit_OnInteractive = function() { AccountKit.init({ appId: '{{ FACEBOOK_APP_ID }}', state: '{{ CSRF_TOKEN }}', version: 'v1.1', fbAppEventsEnabled: true, }); }; (in a first moment, when developing, you can put anything in the csrf token to make the flow work first, then you may return here and handle the csrf token) 3) In a button press event from the user I call the javascript SDK: AccountKit.login( 'PHONE', {countryCode: countryCode, phoneNumber: phoneNumber}, // will use default values if not specified loginCallback ); 4) The loginCallback function calls my backend api in case of success, or shows an error otherwise: function loginCallback(response) { if (response.status === "PARTIALLY_AUTHENTICATED") { var code = response.code; var csrf = response.state; callbackSuccess(code, csrf); } else if (response.status === "NOT_AUTHENTICATED") { callbackError("NOT_AUTHENTICATED"); } else if (response.status === "BAD_PARAMS") { callbackError("BAD_PARAMS"); } } 5) Then in the backend I call the Account Kit endpoint https://graph.accountkit.com/v1.1/access_token passing the code to retrieve the access token, and then I call https://graph.accountkit.com/v1.1/me passing the access token to retrieve the phone number (phone.number), but first I make sure that it was called using my application Id (created in the 1st step). Click to see the java code that I use (for reference) public static String retrievePhoneData(String code) throws HTTPException, NotAllowedException { String appAccessToken = Arrays.asList( "AA", FACEBOOK_APP_ID, ACCOUNT_KIT_APP_SECRET ).stream().collect(Collectors.joining("|")); Map params = new HashMap<>(); params.put("grant_type", "authorization_code"); params.put("code", code); params.put("access_token", appAccessToken); SimpleHttpClientRequest requestToken = new SimpleHttpClientRequest(); requestToken.setMethod(HTTPMethod.GET); requestToken.setUrl(TOKEN_EXCHANGE_BASE_URL); requestToken.setParametros(params); SimpleHttpClientResponse responseToken = URIUtils.getResponseObjectFromRequest(requestToken); int statusCodeToken = responseToken.getStatusCode(); if ((statusCodeToken 299)) { throw new HTTPException(requestToken, responseToken); } String responseStrToken = responseToken.getResponse(); Mapper mapperToken = StringUtil.getMapperFromJSON(responseStrToken); String accessToken = mapperToken.getAsString("access_token"); SimpleHttpClientRequest requestMain = new SimpleHttpClientRequest(); requestMain.setMethod(HTTPMethod.GET); requestMain.setUrl(ME_ENDPOINT_BASE_URL + "?access_token=" + accessToken); SimpleHttpClientResponse responseMain = URIUtils.getResponseObjectFromRequest(requestMain); int statusCodeMain = responseMain.getStatusCode(); if ((statusCodeMain 299)) { throw new HTTPException(requestMain, responseMain); } String responseStrMain = responseMain.getResponse(); Mapper mapperMain = StringUtil.getMapperFromJSON(responseStrMain); String appId = mapperMain.getAsString("application.id"); if (!FACEBOOK_APP_ID.equals(appId)) { throw new NotAllowedException(); } String phoneNumber = mapperMain.getAsString("phone.number"); return phoneNumber; } I haven’t seen any videos, just followed the steps that is explained here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/accountkit/webjs (the main change was that it’s in nodejs, and I used java, but it was pretty straightforward, after all it’s just api calls in the backend) [image] BobbyZopfan: For this to use, do I need to install oAuth 2 plugin? If you use the javascript flow (including the script that loads the sdk and so on), I don’t think so. But like I said, I haven’t implemented it in a Discourse site, so I don’t know the exact requirements to create a plugin that supports Account Kit.

Problem is in the very first step. When, after creating our app in the FB developer console, we have to choose components/functions for our app, where we are supposed to find FB Account Kit, there FB Account Kit is no longer there to be found. [image] Even clicking on + button besides ‘products’ link, takes us to ‘Dashboard’ screen (as shown in the SS).

I entered my app now and saw that behaviour. To me it seems like a bug on their end. Or you can add the products in another, well hidden place :S
