I’m Chinese. In China, e-mail is available, but some people are unaware of it. I don’t want to have to repeatedly explain this concept to them, for example,

> “A software called Tencent QQ provides e-mail, but you don’t know. You will get an e-mail address as soon as you register an account. Actually, the e-mail is your Tencent QQ number + @ + [qq.com](http://qq.com). If you want, you can sign up for other e-mail services, such as WeChat, NetEase, or Microsoft.”

I often explain like this. However, some people even don’t have Tencent QQ.

I had considered building or setting up an email service similar to MailCow or CourierCube, but I gave up. Because of a really intractable situation, every cloud service has stopped providing port 22, and I heard that the country implemented a rule to block port 22 due to abuse. So I’m looking for a plugin that allows signing up with a phone or short-message, but I can’t find one. So I really hope your team to develop a plugin or release a version that can do it. PLEASE!

Hello and welcome @0x22f1a6543a0 🙂

There is this non-official plugin which may be of use - [Disable Email Verification for Discourse Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disable-email-verification-for-discourse-plugin/280874). You could possibly use that alongside a required [user custom field](https://meta.discourse.org/t/create-and-configure-custom-user-fields/113192) to get close to what you’re looking for?

Might having a common SSO or federation login provider handle this be a good solution?

One based on SAML or [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) that did the heavy lifting.

User chooses phone login, signs up, puts in their phone number, and gets a confirmation code…

What are the minimum requirements you would expect of everyone to use this service and to recover their accounts?

I will try SSO or federation login provider handle.

I hope the minimum requirements is sign up and it can short-messsage + e-mail double teaming up.

Thank you for answering my question

According to your answering, I think is a good way to sign up with short-message. All in all i will try all the solution.

- inlcude Disable Email + user custom field

- common SSO or federation login provider handle
