Yes, it is possible to register a user and mark the email as verified in Ory. However, the process involves a few steps: 1. After a user signs up, an email is sent to the provided email address. In the quickstart setup, a fake SMTP server is used, so the email doesn't arrive in the user's inbox. Instead, you can retrieve the email by opening the MailSlurper UI at

127.0.0.1:4436

[source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/quickstart#email-verification). 2. The email contains a verification link. Clicking this link will lead you to the dashboard, where the email address will be marked as verified. You can check the

verified

and

verified_at

fields in the JSON response to confirm this [source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/quickstart#email-verification). 3. If the verification link or code expires, the user can provide the email address associated with their account to get a new verification email [source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/verify-email-account-activation#choosing-the-right-strategy). 4. To re-request the verification email, fill out the form at

127.0.0.1:4455/verification

[source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/quickstart#email-verification). 5. To make an address verifiable, it must be marked as such in the identity schema. In most cases, this is the email address the user provides when registering their account [source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/self-service/flows/verify-email-account-activation#identity-schema). Please note that Ory doesn't recommend requiring a verified email to sign in. Instead, it suggests showing a banner and limiting functionality for unverified accounts to improve signup conversion [source](https://www.ory.sh/docs/identities/sign-in/actions#allow-login-only-with-verified-email).
