As far as I remember, it is possible add extra fields to auth_user table + you can make your own login form (phone/password) + you can retrieve record (and email that could be a fake) from auth_user, using extra field (phone number) - db(auth_user.phone == form.vars.phone).select(auth_user.email) + and you can login user using auth.login_bare(email, password)
