Django Allauth - allow to sign up again if email is unverified
Suppose, user A tries to sign up with an email not of their own (user's B email). He fails to verify it and hence fails to sign in. Some time later user B encounters the site and tries to sign up, but they fail as well with a message "A user is already registered with this e-mail address." From what I see in admin site, it is true, the user instance is actually created, even though the email is unverified. Is there a way to easily allow user B to sign up (i.e. overwrite the unverified user instance)? Or what is the standard way of dealing with this situation?
That user will always be in the database in an "unverified" state unless you delete it. One option would be to run a cron job daily or weekly that deletes users that are unverified for over a certain amount of time.
