Can I create user in Meteor without username or password?

I want to create a user that has no attributes but the ID, it seems I cant do that with Accounts.createUser since username and password are mandatory. Is there another way?

Method Accounts.createUser (package accounts-password) uses under the hood method Accounts.insertNewDoc(options, user) which is server side method from package accounts-base.

You can create your own method :

Meteor.methods({
  "customCreateUser":function(options,user){
    // returns userId
    return Accounts.insertNewDoc(options, user)
  }
})

Accounts.insertNewDoc(options, user) doesn't have limitation to create user only when email or username are passed in options.

However that limitation has Accounts.createUser:

  var username = options.username;
  var email = options.email;
  if (!username && !email)
    throw new Meteor.Error(400, "Need to set a username or email");
