login with email confirmation question
Posted: Wed Jan 25, 2006 4:51 pm
I have a question about a login script im working on -
Once a user has successfully entered their details into a form they are inserted into a database.
If this was successful, the user is then sent a confirmation email that links back and activates the account.
My question is if the email fails for some reason and the user never recieves the email or the user deletes the email, the user can not re-register on the system - as it does not allow duplicate email accounts. And there will be an acount that will never be activated.
What can I do to avoid this?
Thanks
