How to Require Email Verification Before Allowing Access to a Website?

[Fashate1954]

Hello everyone, Im new to building a website and I just wanted to know how could I make it to where it is mandatory to enter in your email in order to gain access to my website ? So sort of like a video landing page, but the user is directed to confirm their email in order to view the content within my site. Any thoughts as to how I could do this guys ?

send a unique verification link or code via email after a user registers.

To require email verification before allowing access to a website, you must confirm that a user owns the email address used during registration. First, when a user signs up, store their information in the database with the account status marked as unverified. Then generate a unique verification token and send a confirmation link to the user’s email. When the user clicks the link, your system validates the token and updates the account status to verified. Until verification is completed, the user should not be allowed to log in or access protected pages. This process improves security, prevents fake registrations, and ensures that only valid users can access your website.
