A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
The no password authentication is nice for this kind of applications given the use case, and allows non tech savvy user access.
On the other side, users cannot be actually identified in a given forum and tech savvy enough users can create multiple accounts.
Describe the solution you'd like
OTP authentication vía usual messaging application would be nice (SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram), it would allow to define phone number as user and no password is needed.
To accomodate different channels, a module/plugin approach would be desired.
Describe alternatives you've considered
User and password authentication, but users forgetting password would be a nightmare.
Additional context
I would like to use this application to add auction functionality to a WhatsApp group we have at a school Sale group. Currently offers get all messed up in the chat, difficult to consolidate pictures and offers for a single item.
The idea would be to add the item to this app and post link to it in the group, users will go to the auction web site and authenticate with OTP registering the same phone number we see in the WhatsApp group.
