 * I have been getting a ton of emails through this widget lately that are clearly
   spam (10 come at the same time, first and last name fields are the same). Is 
   there any solution to this, maybe a way to ensure that the first and last name
   fields are different?

 * The plugin integrates with Akismet [http://akismet.com](http://akismet.com)
    
   Install and activate the Akismet plugin – then in the Easy Sign Up setting check
   the “Slam Spam with Akismet” check box.
