Description
# TL;DR
Validate email addresses upon registration to ensure we can actually reach participants and that researchers are associated with their stated email address.
# Narrative
As a new user, I may make a typo in my email address but not realize that email with compensation will not reach me.
As a researcher, I want assurance that collaborators listed with a particular email address are actually the person they say they are.
# Acceptance Criteria
A precise description of how/when this issue will be considered closed, e.g.:
- [ ] Registration workflow includes email to address to activate account
- [ ] Email address change happens upon confirming access to new account
