Description

It looks like sendgrid is currently only used to reset user passwords. If that is the case it would be nice to have it also used to send a confirmation email upon user registration, so that it can be properly validated.

I suppose this would require the use of a unique email validation token.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing password reset flow that uses SendGrid. Identify the user registration model and route. Generate a unique confirmation token upon user creation and send a confirmation email using SendGrid, similar to the password reset flow. Update the registration route to require email confirmation before allowing login.
