[web2py] How to do that: Verifying email account ownership

2012-01-05 Thread thstart
Verifying email account ownership - I am brainstorming for the best way to 
know email address is owned by an user.

Something like that - a user enters email address, my app
generates a code and sends an email message with a link with this
code, the user clicks and comes to my app which thus verifies he 
is the owner of the email account.

Similar to reset password. 

How is the easiest wat to do that with web2py?

Do you mean a registered user's email address? It's included in web2py,
just enable it. Check out

I mean a separate functionality from auth. Like the user is
posting a list of email addresses in a text box and my app
gets them and sends verification email messages to these
accounts. Once the user clicks the links to go to my app
and my app to mark this email verified and store it in 
a users' separate database
