Using emails is missleading when it comes to having to verify who the user is.
Everyone can open a fake email address and register.
We had similar requirements and integrated it with SMS Gateway.
Initially you have to register using a mobile phone number. Clearpass generates a password and sends it to this mobile Phone number.
Then you type username and password received via SMS and there you gi.
Phone numbers are easy to be verified as in most countries when getting a SIM Card or eSIM you have to provide informations relates to your identity.
In case of any missleading situtation, you can track down the user based on the mobile phone number.

Subject: Clearpass guest email address validation
Hello we would like to know if its possible to do this
If a user types in his email, how can we validate its his real email? guess we could give them access for 5 mins to the internet but maybe that could be a little confusing to the client on how it works?
If we used a sms gateway using the phonenumber i guess it would be no issue, they would need to put the code that was send to their phonenumber but here i guess you need sms tokens and you have to pay for them.
I could use social media login so then we can know who logged in but we would have to pick the correct ones that everyone could have. My concern about this method would be apple users. Some apple user that does not have google account neither uses microsoft account or have facebook account . It would be really hard but could happen, and then he cant use the guest wifi
There is anything for apple users?
In summary the scenario is " giving free access to anyone to the internet and that they can log in without the help of anyone or any sponsor but still we can know who log in the network , not random emails"
If someone has a good idea for this scenario would be appreciated
