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. 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. ### Credits We thank the WordPress team for introducing these checks in 5.3, knowing there are a lot of usecases where this check is important. ### License This file is part of Turn Admin Email Verification Off.

So no, it will not slow WordPress down. ### Is this plugin compatible with update management plugins? Yes. It has been tested by the guys over at Digishock.com and WebsiteNazorg.nl on various platforms. ### What security considerations are there in using this plugin? This plugin is handling no user or system input/output. It does nothing with the database. Limiting the code base is a security best practice. ### Will there be future updates to this plugin? Yes, we will release a new version every 10 months or so. A new version will not mean new code. It is just to avoid the plugin being marked as abandoned. New code will only be added if WordPress needs it. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Turn Admin Email Verification Off” is open source software.
