Unfortunately too many people have time on their hands to do and create things to annoy others.Any ideas why they're doing this?

OpenCart 3.0 allows you to do this without any extensions, you would just need to set up a captcha extension (in Extensions > Captchas) and then assign that captcha to the registration page, in System > Settings (it's at the bottom of the Option tab). You choose the captcha there, and which pages it will show up on.
OpenCart has a basic captcha and Google reCAPTCHA v2 built-in, but if you want something that may block bots without customers having to fill something in, I have a Google reCAPTCHA v3 extension. That determines a score for the customer between 0.0 (human) and 1.0 (bot), and you can set thresholds on which score values to block (e.g. everything above 0.7). It also has a fallback to reCAPTCHA v2 if you still want to let someone that fails the v3 captcha try to pass the v2 captcha.
Feel free to take a look at the screenshots and demo site, and if you're interested let me know at www.getclearthinking.com/contact if you have any further questions.

Check your logs and the customer ID in database and you will se 45.*.* etc
Seriously I block all those IP addresses for a long time now with no problems for normal users.
This is not for everyone by any means but the reduction in bots and spam form fillers etc drops massively.
This will block the ENTIRE 45 range - for most UK, US or EU business that DOES NOT want business etc from russia or some eastern european countries.

No good doing this if you do business with russia or east europe :-)
In the UK I scanned 7 customer databases with a combined total of over 50,000 customers - there was not 1 IP address that started with 45
So it is pretty safe to use in the UK

It's obviously some kind of spam, but I can't figure out what they're trying to accomplish. They'll register with these fake names/emails but then never try to sign in again. The registrations always follow the same format with the last name being similar to the first with a few extra characters and its always a yandex email address. They'll also register from the same IP two days in a row with different names. Any ideas why they're doing this? Right now its not too annoying as its only a handful a week.
