Email Activation
This option is used to verify email addresses that are inputed during registration are valid. Upon registering, the user is emailed a 'validation code' which is simply a long string of numbers and letters. When they receive this code via email, they simply select a link in the email which includes this validation code. Once selected, the user is directed to a confirmation page (or depending upon configuration, further form input requests) and the users account is activated. The idea being, the user will not know the code unless the email is received, therefore to receive the email they must enter an active and valid email address so as to activate the account.
