I don't know of anyone who's done this, but if anyone wants to take a stab at it, it's definitely something that we could include (as long as it's optional, configurable in universe_wsgi.ini) in Galaxy.

Hello members,

I believe currently there is no process to validate email address provided during user account creation. We are experiencing a huge fake account creation attack on our public facing galaxy instance.

Does anybody who has been managing a public instance, implemented an on-demand account creation activation by sending an email containing a link, which when clicked, validate the account creation request. Or any plans from dev-team to add this in future release?

thanks in advance,
