Does the phoneNumber plugin recognize manually created users?

When using the

better-auth

better-auth

with

phoneNumber

phoneNumber

plugin, if I create a user directly in the database with a

phoneNumber

phoneNumber

, will an API call like

authClient.phoneNumber.sendOtp

authClient.phoneNumber.sendOtp

and

authClient.phoneNumber.verify

authClient.phoneNumber.verify

for that number recognize the existing user, or will it create a new one?

Solution

I'm pretty sure it finds the user based on the phone number
