Email verification and password reset
The code that arrives at signup, and how to get back in when you cannot.
Confirming your email
Signing up sends you a message with a code and a button. Either works:
- The button opens a page that confirms you and signs you in. It works in
any browser, including one on a different device from the one you signed up on.
- The code is typed into the boxes on the confirmation screen, which is
useful when you are reading the message on a phone and signed up on a laptop.
The code expires after an hour. "Send it again" is on the same screen, with a short wait between attempts.
If it never arrives: check the spam folder, and check the address you typed. If it is wrong, sign up again. Nothing was created that you have to undo first.
