Summary: The account activation key is not displayed as standalone in the registration email
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-3c92dd7e-bdff-47c4-9247-cbb6c5d61414 Improvement
Affects Versions: 16.10.1
Assignee: Unassigned
Attachments: Registration_email_no_validation_key_standalone.png, Registration_page_validation_key.png
Components: User
Created: 17/Mar/26 14:45
Environment: Windows 11 Pro, Edge 145, using an instance of XWiki 17.10.4 on PostgreSQL 17, Tomcat 11
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-major-fafa53fb-2724-4a1f-8c58-711e8a4bee81 Major
Reporter: Ilie Andriuta
Description:

Steps to reproduce

  1. Configure the Mail Sending section from Administration to be able to send emails
  2. Go to Administer Wiki > Users & Rights > Registration
  3. Set 'Use Email Verification' to Yes and 'Save'
  4. Logout
  5. Click 'Register'
  6. Fill in the details for a new user and an email address
  7. Click 'Register'
  8. Click 'Log-in'
  9. Observe the email received by the user

Expected results

Since after clicking 'Log-in', the user lands on a page with a Validation Key input field and a 'Confirm account' button, a validation code is expected to be present in the email received.

Also, just above the Validation Key input field it says:

You can also copy-paste the activation code in the same email in the following field.

Actual results

The activation key is not displayed standalone in the email received, but it's only part of the registration link:
<server>/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/AccountValidation?validkey=RWqtLNYGy57kGCqQ&xwikiname=U5

We should display the validation code in standalone mode in the email body and inform the user that the account activation can be made by accessing the link or by pasting the activation key in the Validation Key input field on the wiki page.
