Some spammers indicate an email address instead of a nickname when registering...

I wanted to know if there was an option to prevent indicating an email address instead of the nickname or if it is necessary to use an independent plugin for that?

Hi @scoufy ,

If the user registration form only requires filling out the email and password fields, WordPress will automatically generate the other required fields, such as nickname, display_name, and first_name, based on the provided email address. In this case, WordPress uses the single provided data (email) to generate the nickname and display name.
