Signup Tokens

Signup Tokens are used as temporary references to User data that can be either used to create a User or discarded. They are useful for workflows where a user begins a signup process, but one or more additional steps must be completed before the signup is finalized, such as validating payment information. Discarding a Signup Token is easier than tracking and deleting an actual User object.

Multiple Signup Tokens for a given user may exist at once, even though only one can eventually be converted into a User. This simplifies form resubmittals or similar parts of the signup workflow.

Signup Tokens were formerly called User Tokens, which is the reason for legacy references to user_token below. Despite the legacy naming, thinking about them using the current terminology will be helpful in understanding their purpose and use.
