User Activation Email

Contributors: NateJacobs
Tags: user, registration, activation, email
Requires at least: 3.5
Tested up to: 4.1 Stable tag: 1.3.0

Require users to enter an activation code to access the site the first time. The activation code is emailed upon user registration.

Description

Adds an activation code to the new user email sent once a user registers. The user must enter this activation code in addition to a username and password to log in successfully the first time. A 10 character activation code is added to the user meta when the user is registered.

The administrator may reset the activation code or enter a new one from the users profile page.

This plugin does not currently work with multi-site. Multi-site uses an activation key system for new registrations already.
