Email Validation

[sabrinaira]

Description

There doesn't seem to be a feature or security measure implemented if the e-mail address upon signing up for a new account at GuardQL's official website is a valid email address.

Reproduction

Step-By-Step Instructions to Reproduce:

1. Head over to GuardQL's Homepage
2. Click Get Started to take you to Login page
3. Click on Sign Up below the login field.
4. Input all the required fields, including email address.
5. Click on Create Account button.
6. There will be a pop up that will tell you that the account is created.

What is expected:

If the email address is not valid or does not exist, there should be an alert or log that will tell the end-user the case, preventing them from registering for an account at the platform.

What actually happened:

The end-user in this version will still be granted access to the dashboard and other account benefits, regardless of whether the email address field is typed invalidly.
