630592 - Authentication during registration

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: MozTrap, defect, P2)

Description

[Aakash Desai [:aakashd]]

We offer a way for users to register their account, but there isn't an authentication scheme associated to it. Let's do it via e-mail with the following user story.

Action: User completes the registration form and clicks on "Submit". 

Results:
** An activation e-mail is sent to the user's e-mail address.
** A page is loaded thereafter stating "activation is required". This page will persist until the user has activated their account via a link on the e-mail sent.
** The "activation is required" page is shown whenever a user, who has not activated their account, tries to log-in.
** If the user does not activate their account within 3 days time, the account should be deleted.

Vadim and I have discussed this a bit. It requires some API functionality that isn't there yet.

On further thought I think this will be best handled purely on the UI side, so I'm removing the [API?] tag.

Carl Meyer added a comment in Pivotal Tracker:   
   
This is effectively done, with the exception that if you have an inactive account and you try to log in, you just get a failed login, it doesn't tell you that your account is inactive. Re-titling this story accordingly.

Mass-closing remaining MozTrap bugs as WONTFIX, due to 1) the Mozilla-hosted instance being decommissioned (see https://wiki.mozilla.org/TestEngineering/Testrail), and, for now, 2) the still-up code archived at its GitHub page: https://github.com/mozilla/moztrap (we'll decide what's next for that, in the near future).

(If you'd like, you should be able to filter these notification emails using at least the unique string of "Sa75hV8Ywvk" in the message body.

Thanks!
