Requiring email verification is a common practice among many websites. It usually involves the website asking the user to enter their email address and then clicking on a link that is sent to their email address. This link can be clicked or opened in the browser, and it will take them to a page that confirms that they are who they say they are.
This process ensures that only real people with a valid email address can sign up for an account on the site. It also prevents people from using fake accounts or using someone else’s account without permission.
