I’m creating a new user with the connection of `email` (passwordless) and passing the params:

```
{
  connection: 'email',
  email: data.email,
  email_verified: false,
  verify_email: false
}
```

However the verification email is still being sent. 😕 My understanding of how the params work would be that this would not be the case.

The `verify_email`option applies to database connection users so as far as I’m aware the only possibility to create the end-user without triggering the email would be to create it with `email_verified: true`.
