How can I build a site to accept verified customers only? how can I do this easily?

Question

Again, I find my self playing around with ideas. If I had a great idea but needed people to verify themselves before entering, hw would I do that? Just needing to make sure they were who they said they were and possible agree on terms and conditions etc... How could I verify people? It probably wont go anywhere, but it a a hell of an idea, and I know very little about this stuff. Hence all my useless questions!

Ok, that sounds good, but I need the people who are coming in, to verify themselves, so there is no doubt they are who they say they are. Kind of like paypal does, or like some sites give verification emails (but still with that people could still use fake names) everything has to be valid and true in order for me to get anywhere with this idea. I dont want to see their info but they would need to use the system to prove they are a real person, and genuine. Oh and if at all possible, I need a simple way! Ok, I know its a lot to ask!

The best way for it is to "Password Protect" your page. It not only gives you security, but gives a strong secure impression to your customers that they would not have to worry about their accounts.
