Is it possible to login the user via a UID when the user confirms the email address?

The reasons we have not implemented this is that:
1. Any user finding that confirmation email would be able to log-in using the link or token, so it's less good security-wise.
2. This would skip the chance for the user to store the username/password in his passwords-wallet after registration...

It's not implemented into the core code and likely never will for the reasons Beat has listed, but it's doable with CB Auto Actions acting on the onAfterUserConfirmation trigger with a Login / Logout action. You'll need at least 1 condition though to ensure the confirmation was successful, which the below should work.

[var3] Equal To true (may need to check against 1 instead of true)

For the action it self just substitute in the username for the user to login using [username].

Thank you both, that is a great answer. I will think about it.
