How it was found

Hello KhanAcademy Security Team,

I'm rootbakar, I found an oddity that allows a user to register with Khanacademy using an invalid or fake email.

In this trial I used the email '[email protected]' and after pressing the SIGN UP button it will automatically enter the user dashboard page, not through the account verification process first.

This will enable someone to create multiple accounts at once without verification.
