# Decorators

## Verified Email Required

Even when email verification is not mandatory during signup, there may be circumstances during which you really want to prevent unverified users from proceeding. For this purpose you can use the following decorator:

    from allauth.account.decorators import verified_email_required

    @verified_email_required
    def verified_users_only_view(request):
        ...

The behavior is as follows:

- If the user isn’t logged in, it acts identically to the `login_required` decorator.

- If the user is logged in but has no verified email address, an email verification mail is automatically resent and the user is presented with a page informing them they need to verify their email address.
