In Episode 16, we implement *Email Verification* to ensure that users own the email addresses they register with. By sending a secure verification link or one-time token during signup, we can activate accounts safely, reduce fake registrations, and improve the overall security of our Wallet application.
Email verification is a critical feature in production-ready systems, helping prevent spam accounts while ensuring users can securely receive important notifications such as password resets and account updates.
