First of all, after clicking the mail link only a username and password is to be set. It is your job to design it such that it is not a menial task to register.

Secondly, if the user decides to not register after all, just give them an unlink mail button at the registration form. This way they can stop the registration and use the mail in the future if they change their mind.

This is one of those things that never get implemented by 99% of teams due to "why would someone need it" / "additional complexity not worth it" / "we'll do it later"
- ldjb 10y agoI wonder if it's really necessary to provide an unlink mail button. If the user decides not to register, then an account is not created. They can simply abandon the registration process and forget about the service. Unless the service sends out regular email reminders or something to anyone who has entered their email address, then I can understand the need for an unsubscribe link.
