Hello! I am trying to setup Discourse. I want only those people to be able to register who have a valid cell number. Is it possible?

I see it mostly used mostly as a bad second factor implementation. It’s apparently not that hard to steal a phone number. [image] sca: our partners, who would evaluate the page views, would want to see some way by which we avoid fake accounts. Discourse has some stuff built in to do that. Yo…

I don’t have any problem yet. But phone verification is becoming a common practice now. Also, our partners, who would evaluate the page views, would want to see some way by which we avoid fake accounts.

This is very helpful. Thanks Jay!
