Registration problem due to unique personnummer

Issue #13 closed
Gregoire Detrez created an issue

Some problems are starting to appear because of the personnummer being unique: a student who makes a typo in her email address won't be able to register again with the same pn.

The quick-and-dirty solution would be to make the PN not unique. A better alternative could be to add a step in the registration:

  1. register with name and email only
  2. click on link
  3. only once the email is verified, ask for the personnummer.

    And also separate registered and unactivated users. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to maintain NOT NULL constraint on PN.
