Why
For user management, we need email verification to prevent users registering with emails they do not and side-effects due to that like
- inadvertently spamming others
- having account driven away because of using wrong email
- blocking others from registering with their email
Suggested solution
Activations
- During user registration
- generate verification URL
- update it in user table
- send email verification URL on user registration
- update that user was activated once user visits the link
- generate verification URL
- In user profile, show if user email was verified or not
- If user email was not verified, he should not receive any alerts to that email, see ⚠️Alerts
Email change
- to change email from user profile, user must
- enter new email
- have email verified that its not in use by other accounts
- receive new email verification URL
