Hi @da45 this is something you can do with the Firebase SDK right now: https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/manage-users#send_a_user_a_verification_email

I know @davideast and others are working on a big revamp of the Auth system for AngularFire2, so I'm not sure if this is something they can include, but you can add Firebase in and do it right now if you're up for it!

thanks @markgoho
your idea is great, I used it as described below:

import { AngularFire, AuthProviders,AuthMethods} from 'angularfire2';
import * as firebase from 'firebase';

(......)

      this.af.auth.createUser({
        email: this.emailAddress,
        password: this.passWord
      }).then(
        (success) => {
           let user:any = firebase.auth().currentUser;
           user.sendEmailVerification().then(
             (success) => {console.log("please verify your email")} 
           ).catch(
             (err) => {
               this.error = err;
             }
           )

        }).catch(
          (err) => {
            this.error = err;
          })

it works fine now :)
