Feature description

Hey there,

at first, thank you for the awesome product. From the OpenID specification it seems like the attribute "phone_number" is supported. It would be great to have this field upon user registration, within the user management in the admin console and of course in the claims.

Pitch

I'd like to setup a system where users meet on outages such as M365 is offline or the Crowdstrike incident last year. PocketID seems perfect for the login since such a system might not be used in 3 years, and like that users can't forget their password. Since those outages may include email systems, it would be great to have an alternative contact path for the users to request a login, therefore i would need their phone numbers within PocketID rather than managing them in the emergency system which might not be running all the time.

Thanks for your suggestion. We don't plan to add the phone number field to the sign up form because this is not used in most cases. We theoretically could add an option in the settings to enable it but such kind of options just clutter the UI.

You have two options though:

As an admin you can add the phone number as a custom claim:

You can build your custom sign up page pretty easily with the Pocket ID API.
