Require website account activation through email

  • Updated

To increase website security in Optimizely Configured Commerce, you can require that website users activate their account through email, rather than setting a password on the Create Account page. The activation email contains information for website users to activate their account and set their password.

This feature is available out-of-the-box for Spire and can be done through customizations with Classic.

  1. Go to Administration > Settings.
  2. Search for Require Activate Account (located under Account Management).
  3. Toggle the option to Yes. Default: No

This option removes the password fields and password requirements from the Create Account page.

The user must enter an email address and user name. When they click Create, they receive an email to activate their account. After following the instructions, a confirmation displays that their account has been activate and lets them start shopping with their account.

If the link expires in the activation email, they can select to resend the activation.
