When a new user clicks on the Sign up button of an app, he or she usually gets a confirmation email with an activation link (see examples here). This is needed to make sure that the user owns the email address entered during the sign-up. After the click on the activation link, the user is authenticated for the app.
From the user’s standpoint, the email verification process is quite simple. From the developer’s perspective, things are much trickier unless your app is built with Laravel.
