Lazy email validation #1000

Closed tremby closed 7 years ago

tremby commented 8 years ago

Is there a way to validate email addresses but without pausing the pipeline? That is, to still allow the user to finish registering but with a flag on the user record to say their email address is not yet verified, and to change that flag once they have verified the address?

Thanks.

Yeah, you need your own pipeline method that does such flag setting and avoids the pausing of the auth pipeline.

Would I then need to reimplement some of the other related functionality python-social-auth provides, or would I be able to hook back into it somehow? For example to complete the validation.

Depends on your needs, but if you need email-validation you need to implement such feature at some point. PSA doesn't do much on this matter, it just sends an email with a link to complete the authentication in a way that we can trust that the user validated the address.

Well that's what I was hoping to repurpose, just without the delay and setting the flag. Doesn't matter -- the project I used this for is over now, but next time I use this module I'll have another shot.
