In this step we will authenticate and identify users in our app.
Before we go ahead and start extending our app, we will add a few packages which will make our lives a bit less complex when it comes to authentication and users management.
First we will update our Meteor project and add a couple of packages: accounts-base and accounts-phone. These will give us the ability to verify a user using an SMS code:
$ meteor add accounts-base
$ meteor add npm-bcrypt
$ meteor add mys:accounts-phone
For the sake of debugging we gonna write an authentication settings file (private/settings.json) which might make our life easier, but once you're in production mode you shouldn't use this configuration:

- A promise is chainable, and provides an easy way to manage an async flow.
- A promise is wrapped with
zone, which means the view will be updated automatically once the callback has been invoked. - A promise can interface with an
Observable.
For authentication purposes, we gonna create the following flow in our app:
- login - The initial page in the authentication flow where the user fills up his phone number.
- verification - Verify a user's phone number by an SMS authentication.
- profile - Ask a user to pickup its name. Afterwards he will be promoted to the tabs page.
Let's start by creating the LoginComponent. In this component we will request an SMS verification right after a phone number has been entered:
