Does this answer your question? [Email verification in Django](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55578387/email-verification-in-django) — rahul.m, May 25 '22 at 05:26
not quite because I dont know much, I dont quite know to use all that code and for what I noticed he did not send the link to activate the account in the body of the email, he sent it to an other page I dont understand it — Kaynan Kaynan Felipe Rodrigues, May 25 '22 at 05:34
I created that token file but how do I generate the token in my def register account, send it along with the e-mail and build the method to activate it — Kaynan Kaynan Felipe Rodrigues, May 25 '22 at 05:35
