Verification confirms that you can access the email address used for your account. A new account can use its first signed-in session before this step, but you must verify before signing in again.

Confirm your address
- Find the verification email in your inbox. Check junk or spam if it is missing.
- Open its verification link. Opening the link shows a confirmation page.
- Choose Verify email on that page.
- After confirmation, return to the website. The verification notice disappears when the page is refreshed.
If the email is missing or the link has expired
While signed in, use Resend verification email in the website notice. If sign-in asks you to verify, follow its verification link to the resend page. Use the newest email: sending a replacement invalidates earlier links. If resend is temporarily limited, wait before requesting another.
If a submission asks you to verify, complete verification and then submit again. Repeatedly pressing Submit will not bypass the requirement.
