My web site's visitors are only from my universty. Only to those who have METU email addresses. It is easy to log in to a web mail from the browser. Password reset is not a something done on daily bases. It is okay for my situation. Not very user friendly but it is a bit more secure.

In fact the idea come from this; what if a student fills registration form and sends the validation email to his teavher. And the teachet, without reading click, in other words validates the registration process mistekenly. Now, I have a criminal case (I shouldn't allow Professor Naughty Elizabeth to be registeted for example) against me! I wanted to protect my ass. And I used it too in password resets.
