How to Confirm Phone Number in ASP Identity 2

Question

In the new Identity 2, if I want to confirm user email, I can call UserManager.ConfirmEmail(userId, token). However I can't find how to confirm Phone number. Or am I getting the whole idea wrong?

Answer 1

Here is how I solved it:

1. I simply fetched the user using UserManager.FindByName().
2. I set the fetched user's PhoneConfirmed to true.
3. I call UserManager.UpdateAsync() and pass in the updated user.

Just one additional method from Microsoft would have saved these round trips!
