Login updateprofile field validation

I am using the UpdateProfile snippet with the lgnupdateprofile.chunk.tpl template.
I have noticed that UpdateProfile doesn’t seem to perform validation on the data entered into the form. IE: I can enter any values I want in any of the profile fields, including removing them, and they are accepted as is when the submit button is activated.

I need to have the ability to validate email addresses & phone numbers entered into the form.

I am trying to use FormIt to validate the form but without much luck, either embedded into the form resource or as a prehook to UpdateProfile.
IE:
```
[[FormIt? 
  &placeholderPrefix=``
  &customValidators=`fiValidate.phone` 
  &validate=`email:required:email:, 
             phone:required:fiValidate.phone, 
             mobilephone:required:fiValidate.phone'
]]

[[UpdateProfile]]
```
or
```
[[!UpdateProfile? &prehooks=`myValidator`]]

snippet myValidator:

  $modx->runSnippet(FormIt, array(
    placeholderPrefix => ``
    customValidators => `fiValidate.phone` 
    validate => `email:required:email:, 
      phone:required:fiValidate.phone,
      mobilephone:required:fiValidate.phone`
  ));
```
How can I get UpdateProfile to validate form contents based on my specs?
Thanks
