You cant just say "dont ask me to verify", despite the good reason you've set out. Verifying your email is critical in some cases.
I run a company called Checkout 51. The end result of someone using our service is that we send them money. Its critical we have the correct email address for a range of reasons such as them trying to recover their password, support communications and simple account notifications (i.e. we've sent your cheque OR your account has been credited)
I would love to not verify peoples email addresses, but in some cases its important to do so in order to provide the best possible user experience.
- kaiserama 13y agoAgree, I've had numerous situations with a site I created that didn't have email verification where users reported problems logging back into their account. The problem should be pretty obvious. They click the "I forgot my email" button so we generate a new password, send it to the email account they registered with and it bounces back. User emails, we try to do a search for it, find it and discover random slight misspellings such as .con. With verification at least the user is aware that they didn't enter their email properly. Additionally we send messages about rewards, ones that users would want to receive.
- verelo 13y agoYeah that is the primary issue we encounter regarding logins. People often type .con .cim etc (mainly from our iOS or Android apps) and the end result is confusion. Our support staff can normally find the email using a %like% type search and correct it for the user, but without verification these users invest time in an account that they ultimately can lose access to without our assistance (not a good experience).
