Well yes, but I wanted a long complex variable that someone would not be able to just guess an ID and validate the account.
Someone could put ID=5 in there and validate someone else's account. Maybe I should use CreateUUID() store that in the database and send it in the URL in the email? Would be harder to guess they just ID=5.
