Subject: Don't check verified email when an admin logs in (#3209)
X-Git-Url: http://these/git/%7B%60%24%7BrepoUrl%7D/blob/master/docs/static/%7BrepoUrl%7D?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dc36d9ed899fb5567c25b2eb103b4429a071413f;p=lemmy.git

Don't check verified email when an admin logs in (#3209)

Workaround for instance admins getting locked out when they turn on
the email verification requirement without having verified their
own email.
