During registration, don't ask the user to verify their email address after they’ve signed in with Google, as it’s already verified.

What is the challenge?

I recently signed in to your platform using Google Sign-In, which already provides a verified email address. However, I was then required to manually verify my email again via a code. This added step is unnecessary and goes against Google’s recommended practices for authentication.

What is the impact?

User annoyance

Describe your idea

According to Google’s own documentation:

• “When you use Google Sign-In and request the email scope, you receive a verified email address for the user.”

• “Avoid asking the user to verify their email address after they’ve signed in with Google, as it’s already verified.”

Please consider removing this redundant verification step to streamline your user experience. It creates friction and undermines the convenience of federated identity.
