Evalai: Auth: Need email verification mail resend feature.

[spyshiv]

Why??
Suppose user loses verification email without verifying the link. Then neither user will verify his account nor create a new account with same email address.

Requirements

Backend

• [ ] API endpoint to resend verification email (User token based)
  @deshraj : Please take care of it.

Frontend

I think there should be button/Link ("Resend Verification Email" ) inside rounded (dark red) portion of following screenshot.

@aka-jain : Need your thoughts about it.

@RishabhJain2018 Can I take over?

[RishabhJain2018]

Hi, I looked into this, and we can use two methods.

• Setting ACCOUNT_EMAIL_VERIFICATION = 'mandatory' will send a Email every time they log in and if the user is not verified, where we can set a cool-down time for sending email and can be done in two lines of code. The downside to this is that, the user won't have a control over when the email will come the second time.

• The second is the above mentioned one, where we declare a new resend endpoint, and write a custom view and use allauth API's to resend the E-mail, where the user has control over when the email is send.

I like the second one, @deshraj @RishabhJain2018 your inputs on this much appreciated. :)

[deshraj]

@isht3 thanks for the suggesting the two methods. The second method definitely sounds like a good way to proceed with. Please let me know if you are interested in working on this.

[RishabhJain2018]

Yes, the second method is a good way. :+1:

[guyandtheworld]

@deshraj I already started on the issue! :smile:

Hi @Obtin I worked on this issue and my PR is currently under review but there is an issue with the request throttling, if you're interested you could work on that. :smile:
