Sign up flow enhancement: direct login after signup (without email verification)

Currently, after a user signs up, they get an email to verify their account. After clicking the verification link in their email, they can login and create a new application.

After creating an account, we want the user to go directly to the 'new application' page without having to verify their email address first.

Possibly, we would like to allow them to login without verifying their account but have it automatically suspended if not verified within a set amount of time.
