 * I wish to know if there is a way to reauthenticate a user?
    I have lot of spam
   users before I installed bot checks on my WP and is there a way ‘non-manual’ 
   way to identify who is a ‘bad user’. A possible solution for me is to change 
   everyone to sort of ‘hold’ mode [WP equivalent for someone who has registered
   but not confirmed] [do not know how to do this in db] and resend an email [how?].
   IF the user is not confirmed just remove them after ‘x’ days
