My verification link says it’s expired
If you’re receiving an expired link message when you try to verify, worry not; here are some measures you can take to retry:
- Log in using a different web browser
- If you’re using Firefox, please disable Enhanced Tracking Protection — this feature may block verification for your device
- Log in again and allow 15 minutes for a new verification link to arrive. If you try logging in during that 15-minute window, it will expire the first verification link
- Ensure that you’re using the most recent link we’ve sent you
- Only verify with the device you want to log in on (i.e., don’t verify on your phone when you want to access your account on desktop)
If you prefer to verify with a 2-factor app or SMS text message, you can enable 2-factor authentication.
