I'm thinking about a sign-up-with-mobile number system whereby someone can register with a mobile number and get a SMS to verify that they exist... at which point I'd like to have them automatically logged in without a password... (the SMS is basically a password)
This is patterned on the Lyft app sign-up, which doesn't ask for a username/password/etc.
But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to do this.
I'm totally fine with a server only Meteor.method
which responds with something "secure" but I don't know what that would be now.
The only thing I can think of would be to set the password on the User and then transmit it to the client and run a login (which seems insecure to me).
I have read through this great article https://meteorhacks.com/extending-meteor-accounts.html and it's a good option, but I don't know of a strategy for that which wouldn't bypass security too
(at some point the server has to communicate securely back to the client...)
Recommendations?
