Issue: Session API Accepts Email but Not Phone Number for Login
āļøConfigurationšŖµLogināļøZitadel CloudāQuestionšOIDC
Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing an issue with the Session API (/v2/sessions) when trying to login with phone numbers.
Current Setup:
Using Zitadel Cloud
I have the preferred login name set to email
Login with email works correctly via the Session API
Phone number is verified for the user
The Problem:
When I try to use a phone number in the loginName field, I get an error1:
json
{
"code": 5,
"message": "User could not be found (QUERY-Dfbg2)"
}
What Works:
json
{
"checks": {
"user": {
"loginName": "user@example.com"
}
}
}
What Doesn't Work:
json
{
"checks": {
"user": {
"loginName": "+1234567890"
}
}
}
According to the API documentation, the Session API "will not check for emails or phone numbers, even if the corresponding setting is enabled"1. It only accepts the actual username or user_id1.
My Question:
Is there a way to enable phone number login directly in the Session API, or do I need to:
Search for the user by phone number using ListUsers API first
Extract the preferred login name
Then create the session with that login name
Has anyone implemented phone number authentication successfully?
Thanks!
