<p>Starting WordPress 5.3, WordPress added an e-mail verification step that will come into action about every six months. This step is to validate if the used e-mail address is still in use. On sites with large amounts of users, this can be a very handy feature. On sites with just one user, it can be considered an unwanted nag. This ultra lightweight plugin switches this feature off.</p>
<p>This is an UltraFast plugin. Meaning there is no settings screen. No database connection. No input / output. It’s just a single line of code.</p>
<h3>Credits</h3>
<p>We thank the WordPress team for introducing these checks in 5.3, knowing there are a lot of usecases where this check is important.</p>
