Email-based self-registration
Email-based self-registration enables a user to create their own account via a 'Create new account' button on the login page. The user then receives an email containing a secure link to a page where they can confirm their account. Future logins just check the username and password against the stored values in the Moodle database.
Note: In addition to enabling the plugin, email-based self-registration must also be selected from the self registration drop-down menu on the 'Manage authentication' page.
