Comment (by azaozz):

 > Log confirmed requests and perhaps show them on the dashboard

 Was thinking about this a bit more: instead of deleting the confirmation
 token from the DB perhaps we can set a "confirmed" status on it and keep
 it until the action is performed?

 Also, may be better to have a permanent log. Perhaps we can make a new
 private CPT (without editor, terms, revisions, etc. support) that will
 hold the log. Then can use postmeta to store the tokens on it. After the
 action is performed can add a row with the date and type of action but not
 the user email so it is anonymous.
