wordpress - Membership plugin : Can someone sign up using a fake email address? -


i'm building membership site using wordpress , membership plugin .

the site still on localhost. did trial sign ups , worked well. noticed that, can use fake email address such xyz@gmail.com or sign , create account. that's problem. don't know how work when moved site server.

but guys think security hole ?

and can solution ?

here's suggest:

on registration page, add field users need enter special code complete registration , make code image (or @ least robots cannot process easy). prevent robots signing new accounts bogus information.

next, perform basic email validation make sure format correct.

next, strip email address user entered , verify domain part correct , if is, have server automatically send email new account holder asking him/her return special section of site he/she enters special registration code assigned him/her complete registration.

also, save database space (i'm assuming registration info stored in one), ask users complete registration within limited time period or have start over. if time relevant data database can removed. suggest setting time period @ least 1 day.

if unable this, may need find better plugin has functionality described.

and whatever do, play website on localhost , make few modifications on live server possible. means make changes @ once on localhost if can upload @ once live server.
