FS#54 - Lack of Verification Email

### Summary
The website does not verify email addresses during the account creation process, which can lead to various security issues such as spam, abuse, and account recovery problems.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Go to the account creation page.https://www.alwaysdata.com/en/register/ 2. Enter any email address and complete the registration process.
3. Notice that no email verification step is required.

### Impact
- Spam and Abuse: Unverified accounts can be used to flood the system with spam or perform malicious activities.
- User Impersonation: An attacker can use someone else's email address, leading to possible impersonation issues.
- Account Recovery Problems: Users might face difficulties in recovering their accounts if email addresses are not verified.

### Recommendation
Implement email verification as a mandatory step in the account creation process to ensure that the email addresses are valid and belong to the users registering them.
