xpenser added email confirmation support so account creation can verify addresses before users rely on the finance app.

Account registration gained email confirmation, making the authentication path more complete for hosted deployments.

This release came from PR #18 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.

What changed

  • Added confirmation behavior around account email addresses.
  • Connected the flow to the existing authentication surface.
  • Kept the work compatible with later login and reporting improvements.

Why it matters

Verified email addresses matter for account recovery, notifications, and scheduled finance reports.

Where it fits

This release supports hosted xpenser accounts while preserving the self-hosted direction of the project.

For a broader product overview, start with the xpenser home page. Developers can also explore the personal finance API and MCP tools, while self-hosters can review the self-hosted personal finance tracker page.

Start hosted, then self-host when ready

Create a hosted xpenser account for the public instance, or review the MIT licensed source and run your own deployment from Docker Compose.
