Hi Thomas,

I guess, you're not asking how to create a disabled account (you could 
do that by setting $account->setExpirationDate() to a date in the past, 
giving the account some "Disabled" role or applying

Right, that would be the clean solution. And if it's working, feel free 
to share we could really use a generic token based authentication provider!

Alternatively you could of course write some activateAction that is not 
protected and expects some token and activates the respective Account if 
that is valid.. But the custom provider would definitely be nicer ;)
