try something like this... may need more tweaks
# define a function that upon registration sets a random password and sends
it by sms
def login_callback(form):
from gluon.utils import web2py_uuid
token = web2py_uuid()
form.record.update_record(password=db.auth_user.password.validate(token))
send_sms(phone_number=form.username, message = token)
# define auth_user with a username field
auth.define_tables(username=True)
# pretend the username is the phone number
db.auth_user.username.label = 'phone number'
# do not allow login after registration but skip email validation
auth.settings.requires_approval = True
auth.settings.requires_verification = False
# after registration go back to login form
auth.settings.register_next = URL('user/login')
# before that generate random password and send it by sms
auth.settings.register_onaccept = login_callback
send_sms is not a web2py function. You need a third party service for that.
