Ensuring the user cannot register on system even with different email address


I am on creating a system, I am trying to ensure that user cannot register more than once even he uses different email-addresses or he changes its ip, so what strategies should i use ? can I do it with cookies ?


Solution

  • There is nothing you can do to prevent users from registering them multiple times.

    User could have:

    • Dynamic IP

    • Clear cookies

    • Clone MAC address

    • Use a different email account

    • No sane user would purchase additional hardware like biometric authentication

    • User could have multiple credit cards, and addresses

    The best case, if to forbid the use of multiple accounts, in the TOS/AUP, and delete/ban those accounts.
