This is a huge problem IMO. I stopped using Grindr a while back. Few months later I get a password reset request in my email. I deleted my profile when I stopped using Grindr so I thought it was strange. Eventually I reset the password and logged in to find some guy's picture as my profile pic who i don't know. So basically someone can use your email address to start an account and you will never know because Grindr does not verify the email when you sign up. If this person then commits a crime, YOUR email is now linked to this. Emails are linked to individual people since you can't have 2 of the same email addresses. This is a serious problem and needs to be fixed. Email verification is internet 101. I can't believe they don't do this.
