Description
Wyld Registration Sentry helps protect WordPress registration forms by validating email addresses before accounts are created or updated.
The plugin can:
- block invalid or non-resolving email domains
- block domains without MX records
- block disposable email services
- optionally block free email services
- optionally block registrations from selected spammy top-level domains
- validate email changes made from wp-admin and programmatic user updates
- log rejected attempts for review in the admin area
- allow registrations to continue temporarily when the validation service is unavailable
The plugin adds a settings page under Settings > Wyld Registration Sentry where you can enter your API key and configure validation behavior.
This plugin uses the WyldAPI email validation service. An API key is required for remote validation features.
External services
This plugin connects to the WyldAPI email validation service to validate email addresses during user registration and when users change their email address.
It sends the email address being validated to WyldAPI when a registration is submitted or when an email address is changed and the relevant validation checks are enabled in the plugin settings.
