Authentication using phone number only

[itaisteinherz]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes - when I tried using Amplify for authenticating users using a phone number and TOTP, I ran into some issues.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like there to be another "alternative sign in" option, where you can sign up/sign in using your phone number only (and TOTP for verification on both registration and login).

Describe alternatives you've considered You could use the hash of the phone number as the username, the phone number as the password, and enable MFA. However, that would be extremely hack-y, and so I'd prefer not to use it.

Additional context aws-amplify/aws-sdk-android#1012 (and more specifically https://github.com/aws-amplify/aws-sdk-android/issues/1012#issuecomment-505580288).

I am facing the same issue

const signUpObj = {
“ClientId”: “myClientId”,
“Username”: “+12027953213”,
“Password”: “1595375749602”,
“UserAttributes”: [],
“ValidationData”: null
};

try {
const result: SignUpResult = await Auth.signUp(signUpObj);
resolve(result);
} catch(error) {
console.log(error)
}
// end of snippet

// result:
/*
{
“__type”: “InvalidParameterException”,
“message”: “Attributes did not conform to the schema: email: The attribute is required\n”
}*/

I have temporary solution for this issue so that I can just move on, but we need to have phone only signup feature for this, thank you.

      const email = 'any.email@admin.com';

      const signUpObj = {
        username,
        password: Date.now().toString(),
        attributes: {
          email,
        }
      };

      const signUp = this._auth.signUp(signUpObj);
// work on results below

This feature still stands as with the current "phone number" login mechanism still requires an associated email and password (using Amplify CLI 7.6.24), whereas this is requesting "phone number" login with SMS TOTP
