[SOLVED] Why does updatePhone require a password?
I am building an app which only uses the phone number authenticate users. Now I wanted to implement a part where they can change their phone number, but a password is required which my users do not have.
This requirement of the password does not make sense to me, can someone explain? π
TL;DR
The user is questioning why the `updatePhone` function requires a password when they are building an app that only uses phone numbers to authenticate users. It was mentioned that this issue has already been addressed and will be released in version 1.4.x. In the meantime, they can try creating a cloud function and update the user's phone using the `Users` SDK. 
That's indeed interesting, You may want to open issue regarding that matter
