There certainly are benefits, and I did use a temp sign-up storage
file myself. I was just suggesting a solution with less work since
initially everybody said they had little to no time to work on this
recipe.
There are other benefits to storing sign-up data, which I also used.
Store the IP and you can limit attempts to crack the secret. Store the
date to have the link expire, etc.

Eemeli, you already have the mechanisms in your new AuthUserProfiles
recipe proposal. Why not have an email-only option, stored in a
separate place for these purposes?
e.g. SiteAdmin.VerifiedAddresses, or whatever, which other recipes can
access. Unsubscribing can use the same mechanism as the
subscription/sign-up process.
