I have created a new forum hosted on Discourse itself. The forum is for members of an organization. I want to use the Full name requirement (and I have that selected under Settings \> Users \> Full name requirement.
But, when a user tries to register he/she gets redirected to a Discourse ID login which allows them to sign up only with a username.
What am I missing?

Hiya Robert š welcome.
are you purposely using Discord to login? or do you mean Discourse ID? do you have this setting enabled? if so, try disabling.

Hi Lilly. Sorry I meant Discourse ID. Ha. I am trying to find where in the Settings this āEnable Discourse IDā isā¦

oh what hosting plan are you using? i suspect it may be limitation on the free plan or something (i canāt remember what they allow on that tier).
edit: looks like the free plan has pre-configured logins with Discourse ID, meaning you canāt change the login related settings

You should be able to find the login options under Admin \> Community \> Login & Authentication.
> [@hammerdunner](#):
>
> Settings \> Users \> Full name requirement
So, it is marked as required? If so, it should force new signups to set that field, regardless of login method (local login, Discourse ID or other)

They are the same setting. Just shown in two different contexts.

I do believe you are correct, Lilly. Free plan only allows Discourse ID to sign up.

Thanks for testing!
I think you are running into a different issue. I went through the same flow, and I can reproduce what @hammerdunner showed in the OP, the new user gets logged in straight. I also notice here that ID autofills the full name field.
We need to fix this, Iāll move this to the #Contribute > Bug category.

Sorry, forgot to post an update. This was fixed a while back here:
>
>
> \*\*Previously\*\*, when \`full\_name\_requirement\` was set to "required\_at\_signup" andā¦ \`auth\_skip\_create\_confirm\` was enabled, Discourse ID signups bypassed the name requirement by auto-suggesting a name from the username.
>
> \*\*In this update\*\*, the client authenticator extracts the provider-supplied name, and the signup flow no longer skips confirmation when a real name is required but not provided by the auth provider.
