You can enable captcha and other methods to avoid spammers. If you want to disable local user, it's duplicated of #13606

I've enabled reCAPTCHA and verified that it appears on the registration website. Sadly it does nothing to stop the account spam I've been battling over the last few days.

I have had this problem for several weeks. I see 2 options for a quick but only temporary solution. You can disable the user registration completely and only invite users or you can set an e-mail restriction. But this does not help if you run a “public” instance. But for the Homelab this should solve the problems for now.

Many thanks! @lunny

I have also seen through Wazuh that accounts are made through SQL injections. I really don't know how to prevent this exactly...
