Unconventional Authentication Implementation

I have an interesting client and one of his specifications is that he wants to keep users of the platform completely anonymous, but we still need a way to identify them, but without knowing their personal details. So he wants to use phone numbers to authenticate them and they encrypt the phone number in the database

I don't really know how to go about implementing this with convex. The 2 ideas I have are:

1. To use the Lucia implementation to create a custom auth flow - but lucia is deprecated so I have to find the equivalent.
2. To use the anonymous sign in option in convex auth and tweek the CAPTCHA verification to instead use phone verification - but that's a stretch

This is as far as I've gotten so if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be helpful. Thank you
