In order to ensure that players only use one account (and don't multibox) we are going to require that all accounts be linked to a phone number. When a user registers, they MUST provide a valid phone number. When they register, we should integrate with TWILIO (or some other SMS service) in order to send out a text message to the user's phone with a verification code. Create a random 6-8 character/digit code and send that to the user.
We will also then need to make a /api/v1/users/verifySocial endpoint. This endpoint should be able to verify every social platform
Solution
On registration generate a verification code
Integrate with Twilio (or another SMS platform) to send the user the verification code
Create a server endpoint to let user's verify the code for socials
Prevent unverified users from joining games
Make this a configuration option.
In development we should not send out SMS messages (it costs money to send them out).
Also, I do not want to recieve SMS messages while testing. Maybe while testing that the feature is OK, but not while testing other stuff
