Login with Phone Number | Voters

I would prefer to have users login with a phone number where they receive a text with a code to verify. I would need this feature to prevent users from making multiple fake accounts. Is this possible in any way?

+1 for this. @Daryl Vickers we are currently trying to simply make sure that when users register, their phone number is passed through to Segment so we can then text them through our service. All we need is for the phone number people enter in registration to be sent through to Segment! That would solve this whole issue. Any way to expedite that?

Hey Ivan!
Thanks for the suggestion! Our dev team is always on the lookout for ways to expand the features and functionality in our system. We’ll keep an eye on this, and the more support it gets the higher chance it will have of being implemented.
Have a great rest of your day!

@Austin Blair: Ive noticed this is your standard reply to EVERY suggestion on this platform! Its a bit dismissive for one, secondly this suggestion has 5x the amount of support other suggestions have. Exactly how much support does a suggestion need before it has a 'higher chance' of being implemented. lol

@Daryl Vickers: Thank you for the feedback. There is no "magic number" that we look for, though our dev team does keep an eye on which tickets get the most support behind them in terms of comments and upvotes.

That would be so much nicer than the bank-level security that is needed right now.

THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!

Especially because I work with small businesses who are worried 'cheap people' (Their words) will create multiple accounts to take advantage of vouchers.
