How to let new users login without email activation

Question

The idea is to get rid of mandatory new account activation through email As is: register new user -> exit without following to email verification link -> try to log in -> Site says something like:

"Your account has to be activated before you can login. You can resend email with verification link by clicking here."

Desired to be: register new user -> exit without following to email verification link -> try to log in -> Site let you in. At my account page (mysite.com/my-account/) there is suggestion to activate account or resend email with activation link

You can use my WP Login Flow plugin to setup this up, or since it's open source use it as a reference for how to do it yourself.
