In my case, I also have the registration spam problem. That is why I want to turn off public email sign up but let users only use Github to login.

Just turn off `enable local logins`.

Thank you @pfaffman. IIUC, after I turn off the “enable local logins”

- Users can’t sign up with email.
- Users still can use social login (like Github) to create a new accouont or login.

Am I right?
