To add a strategy for logging in using passwordless authentication via SMS in Ory, you need to follow these steps: 1. Enable the one-time code strategy for passwordless authentication: You can do this through the Ory Console UI, Ory CLI, or by updating the full configuration. Here's how to do it using the Ory CLI:

ory patch identity-config <your-project-id> \      --add '/selfservice/methods/code/passwordless_enabled=true'

[Enable SMS one-time-code (OTP)](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#enable-sms-one-time-code-otp) 2. Select or create an identity schema that includes a phone number field: If you're using a custom schema, make sure to mark the phone number field as the identifier for the code method:

json    {      "type": "string",      "format": "tel",      "title": "Phone number",      "<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>": {        "credentials": {          "code": {            "identifier": true,            "via": "sms"          }        }      }    }

[Custom identity schema](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#custom-identity-schema) 3. Configure an SMS channel: You need to set up an SMS provider to send the one-time codes. For testing purposes, you can use a mock SMS provider. Here's an example using the Ory CLI:

ory patch identity-config --project ${project_id} \      --add '/courier/channels=[{"id":"sms","request_config":{"method":"PUT","body":"<base64://ZnVuY3Rpb24oY3R4KSB7DQpjdHg6IGN0eCwNCn0>=","url":"<https://webhook.site/#!/view/859c1c2c-c4d5-4058-aec4-53f37929c5c1>"}}]'

[Enable SMS one-time-code (OTP)](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#enable-sms-one-time-code-otp) 4. (Optional) Customize the SMS template: You can customize the SMS template for the verification code:

yaml    courier:      templates:        verification_code:          valid:            sms:              body:                plaintext: "<base64://WW91ciB2ZXJpZmljYXRpb24gY29kZSBpczoge3sgLlZlcmlmaWNhdGlvbkNvZGUgfX0>="

[Templates](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/sending-sms#templates) After completing these steps, users will be able to log in using passwordless authentication via SMS. They will enter their phone number, receive a one-time code via SMS, and then enter that code to authenticate. Remember that SMS OTP is considered less secure than other methods due to vulnerabilities like SIM swapping and SMS interception. Consider using more secure methods like Passkeys when possible. [Passwordless email & SMS](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code)

If you're using a self-hosted Ory solution, the process for setting up passwordless authentication via SMS is similar, but there are a few key differences to keep in mind: 1. Configuration: Instead of using the Ory Console or Ory CLI, you'll need to directly modify your configuration file (usually

kratos.yml

or similar). 2. SMS Provider: You'll need to set up your own SMS provider or service to handle the sending of SMS messages. Ory doesn't provide this service for self-hosted installations. 3. Courier Configuration: You'll need to configure the courier (the component responsible for sending messages) in your configuration file. Here's an example of how you might configure it:

yaml    courier:      channels:        - id: sms          type: http          request_config:            url: <https://your-sms-provider-api-endpoint>            method: POST            body: <base64://your-base64-encoded-request-body>            headers:              Content-Type: application/json            auth:              type: api_key              config:                in: header                name: Authorization                value: your-api-key

[Send SMS to your users](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/sending-sms) 4. Identity Schema: You'll still need to ensure your identity schema includes a phone number field marked as the identifier for the code method, as described in the previous answer. 5. Enable Passwordless: In your configuration file, you'll need to enable the passwordless method:

yaml    selfservice:      methods:        code:          passwordless_enabled: true

[Enable email one-time-code (OTP)](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#enable-email-one-time-code-otp) 6. Templates: If you want to customize the SMS templates, you'll need to add this to your configuration file as well. Remember that when self-hosting, you're responsible for ensuring the security and reliability of your SMS delivery service. You should also consider the security implications of using SMS for authentication, as it's generally considered less secure than other methods due to vulnerabilities in the SMS system. Lastly, make sure to restart your Ory Kratos instance after making these configuration changes for them to take effect.

If you're encountering the error message "Could not find a strategy to log you in with. Did you fill out the form correctly?" (error code 4010002), it suggests that Ory Kratos couldn't find a suitable authentication strategy for the provided input. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix this issue: 1. Verify Strategy Configuration: Make sure you have properly enabled the passwordless authentication strategy in your configuration. Double-check that you have set

passwordless_enabled: true

for the code method in your configuration:

yaml    selfservice:      methods:        code:          passwordless_enabled: true

[Enable email one-time-code (OTP)](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#enable-email-one-time-code-otp) 2. Check Identity Schema: Ensure that your identity schema correctly defines the phone number field and marks it as an identifier for the code method. Your schema should include something like this:

json    {      "type": "string",      "format": "tel",      "title": "Phone number",      "<http://ory.sh/kratos|ory.sh/kratos>": {        "credentials": {          "code": {            "identifier": true,            "via": "sms"          }        }      }    }

[Enable SMS one-time-code (OTP)](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#enable-sms-one-time-code-otp) 5. Registration Flow Configuration: Ensure that your registration flow is set up to collect and store the phone number. This typically involves configuring your registration UI to include a phone number field and ensuring that the registration API request includes the phone number in the traits. Remember to restart your Ory Kratos instance after making these configuration changes. Also, make sure that when users register, they provide a phone number that gets correctly stored in their identity traits. This is crucial for the passwordless login via SMS to work properly.

Certainly! I can provide you with an example registration request that includes the necessary information for setting up passwordless login via SMS. Here's a step-by-step process: 1. First, initiate a registration flow:

GET https://<your-project-slug>.<http://projects.oryapis.com/self-service/registration/browser|projects.oryapis.com/self-service/registration/browser>

This will return a response containing a

flow_id

which you'll need for the next step. 2. Then, submit the registration request with the phone number:

POST https://<your-project-slug>.<http://projects.oryapis.com/self-service/registration|projects.oryapis.com/self-service/registration> Content-Type: application/json  {   "method": "code",   "traits": {     "email": "<mailto:user@example.com|user@example.com>",     "phone": "+1234567890"   },   "flow": "<flow_id_from_previous_response>" }

Replace

<your-project-slug>

with your actual project slug, and

<flow_id_from_previous_response>

with the flow ID you received from the first request. Also, replace

<mailto:user@example.com|user@example.com>

with the actual email and

+1234567890

with the actual phone number you want to register. This request assumes that your identity schema includes both an email and a phone number field. The

"method": "code"

indicates that you're using the one-time code method for registration. [Custom identity schema](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#custom-identity-schema) If your configuration is correct, this request should initiate the registration process and send a one-time code to the provided phone number. The response might include a message indicating that a code has been sent. Remember, the exact structure of the

traits

object in your request should match your identity schema. If your schema is different, you'll need to adjust the

traits

object accordingly. After this step, you would typically need to submit the received code in a separate request to complete the registration process. The exact format for submitting the code would depend on your specific setup and UI flow.

Check Courier Configuration: Ensure that the courier (the component responsible for sending messages) is properly configured in your setup. 4. Restart Ory Kratos: After making these configuration changes, restart your Ory Kratos instance for the changes to take effect. 5. Check Logs: After restarting, check your Ory Kratos logs for any additional error messages or details that might provide more insight into the issue. If you've made these changes and are still encountering the error, you may need to investigate further: - Double-check that all your configuration files are being loaded correctly. - Verify that you're using the correct version of Ory Kratos that supports the configurations you're using. - Consider reaching out to the Ory community or support channels with more detailed information about your configuration and the steps you've taken to reproduce the error. Remember, when working with self-hosted Ory solutions, it's crucial to ensure all components are properly configured and that your configuration aligns with your specific version of Ory Kratos. [Using custom message templates](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/custom-email-templates#using-custom-message-templates)

To answer your question about recommended versions of Ory Kratos and Oathkeeper for implementing passwordless authentication via SMS, I need to clarify that the information provided in the knowledge sources doesn't specify exact version recommendations for this particular feature. However, I can provide some general guidance based on the available information. For Ory Kratos: It's generally recommended to use the latest stable version of Ory Kratos, as it will include the most up-to-date features and security improvements. The passwordless authentication via SMS feature has been available for some time, so any recent stable version should support it. For Ory Oathkeeper: Oathkeeper is not directly involved in the passwordless authentication process via SMS. It's primarily used for API security and access control. Therefore, its version is less critical for this specific feature. Again, using the latest stable version is generally a good practice. To ensure compatibility and get the most up-to-date features, I recommend checking the official Ory documentation or GitHub repositories for the latest stable versions of both Kratos and Oathkeeper. You can also consult the release notes to see if there are any specific improvements or changes related to passwordless authentication in recent versions. If you need more specific version recommendations, I suggest reaching out to the Ory community or support channels with details about your specific use case and environment. [Ory Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/) Remember to always test thoroughly in a non-production environment before upgrading your production systems.

Yes, there is a way to extract the One-Time Password (OTP) code instead of sending it via SMS when using Ory Kratos. This can be particularly useful for testing or when you want to implement a custom delivery method. Here's how you can do it: 1. Configure a Webhook Channel: Instead of configuring an SMS provider, you can set up a webhook channel in your Ory Kratos configuration. This webhook will receive the OTP code and other relevant information.

yaml    courier:      channels:        - id: sms          type: http          request_config:            url: <https://your-webhook-endpoint.com>            method: POST

[Send SMS to your users](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/emails-sms/sending-sms) 2. Set Up a Webhook Endpoint: Create an endpoint that can receive POST requests from Ory Kratos. This endpoint will receive the OTP code and other details. 3. Extract the Code: When Ory Kratos sends a request to your webhook endpoint, it will include the OTP code in the request body. You can extract this code from the request and use it as needed. 4. Logging (for testing purposes only): For testing, you could log the OTP code. However, be cautious with this approach and never use it in a production environment as it could expose sensitive information.

yaml    courier:      channels:        - id: sms          type: http          request_config:            url: <https://webhook.site/your-unique-id>            method: POST

[Enable SMS one-time-code (OTP)](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/passwordless/one-time-code#enable-sms-one-time-code-otp) Remember, extracting the OTP code instead of sending it via SMS bypasses the security measure of delivering the code through a separate channel. This approach should only be used for testing or development purposes, never in a production environment where actual user authentication is taking place. For production use, always ensure that the OTP is delivered securely to the user through a verified channel like SMS or email.
