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

I have saddly to say, that Captcha is already enabled.
And the given thread from you is also saddly not really helpful to get that issue fixed :-(

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.

Disabling local user have been implemented in #32687 and will be released in v1.23.
