Phil Nash - Email verification without the verification email
When users register or subscribe you need to prove they control the email address they entered. That typically requires sending a verification email, sending the user away to their inbox, and hoping they return. The Email Verification Protocol is a proposed API that has the browser communicate with the email provider to verify the user's ownership of the address without them navigating away. We'll look at how to implement this API, the benefits of the approach, and what it will take to see this in production.

TBD
