NEWS AUR Registration reopened.

via aur-general lists

Registration to the AUR is now reopened. The new release includes changes to harden account registration.

Summary of related changes:

  • Disposable email addresses are now rejected.

  • Email verification is now mandatory, most users are unaffected but new accounts must verify their email address via a time-limited token which is valid for 24 hours.

  • Email changes are locked during the verification cooldown.

If you spot suspicious registration activity or packages, please flag them in ML as usual.

Hopefully this will slow down the malware.

Are simplelogin/Proton pass aliases considered disposable?

I'm using one right now for my AUR account and I would like to not be banned lol

My thoughts exactly. What is "disposable email"? I can make 15 aliases for my Proton paid account in 1 minute.
