I’m not sure I fully understand your point. I exclusively use OAuth for sign-ins, as it’s the most secure method, and passwords are vulnerable to brute-force attacks. Through OAuth, any ramdom user can log in via Google and then they still appear in a ‘pending’ state. I’m using the latest version of Open-Webui, so the issue isn’t resolved for me. My goal is to prevent random users from signing up.

Have you set ENABLE_SIGNUP to false as an environment variable for your Open WebUI instance or disabled new sign ups within the GUI?

Have now done it in gui and in variable container but no change. Any user can still login then it shows this user status pending.

If you have the OAUTH_MERGE_ACCOUNTS_BY_EMAIL environment variable set to true, this bypasses the env var/toggle in the UI to disable new sign ups, which is intended behavior.
