In case someone else hasn't brought this up: I think it's not unusual to allow people to log in provisionally into applications even before they've verified their e-mail. Their access is usually restricted in some way and will stop entirely if they haven't verified by a certain date... Depending on the nature of the app you're creating, maybe this would be worthwhile (usually it's a good idea if you want to lower the barrier to entry as much as possible and get people using your app right away).

That's what I meant by "it might be up to business rules". However, it opens up a door to all sorts of liabilities.

Thanks - I think that's what P Martinez was saying (and I just read that comment). I agree that seems like a good idea that I had not previously considered. I appreciate your feedback.
