Verify emails after sign up

[bajiat]

Validate user emails after user registration by sending a message to the given address and requiring users to take an action (click a link, press a button) to confirm the registration.

Potential user stories

As an Apinf administrator
I need to be able to be sure that the registrations to Apinf are valid registrations

Design

Definition of done

• Email is sent to a user after user has registered to platform
• User can take an action to confirm the email address from the mail that has been sent
• User can only access the platform after the confirmation has taken place
• Email validation can only take place if SMTP settings have been given for the platform

Should be easy

Accounts.config({sendVerificationEmail: true, forbidClientAccountCreation: false});
