Is there an option to verify user emails? #8

Most sites require you to click a link in the email before your account gets validated but I was not able to find this. Let me know why you decided not to include this functionality

I didn't implement this due to time constraints. The API would look similar to the password reset API though, with hashing a token, emailing that, and setting up a confirmation endpoint.

Here's my initial implementation of this functionality (server side only and not fully tested): https://gist.github.com/jay-at-avido/d6c5bf0e42f820fb19679343261e3163

Thank you, I will review this when I get a chance and implement it as well!
