Google Chrome is developing a proposal that could transform one of the most tedious steps by registering on online services: email verification.
To do this, they have devised the Email Verification Protocol (EVP), a system designed to replace the traditional process of magical links and codes, thus speeding up the user experience.
Currently, verifying an email implies going to the entrance tray, locating the confirmation message and clicking on a link or copying a code. This procedure is tedious, interrupts the registration flow and can cause some users to abandon the process.
With this new protocol, the dynamics will be much more fluid. When introducing the mail address in a form, Chrome could directly confirm with the email supplier that the account belongs to the user. The website would then receive a cryptographic token as a test, without sending a verification message.
This would not only accelerate registration, but also reinforce privacy. Today, by clicking verification links, mail suppliers get information about what applications we use and when we register.
Con EVP, The browser would mediate in verification, preventing the supplier from knowing the specific services we use.
Gmail would probably be the first service to adopt it, but for EVP to function universally, it would be necessary for other mail suppliers and browsers to join the initiative.
