Short Answer: If the verification link has expired (“This link will expire in 30 minutes for security reasons.”), return to the verification page and click 'Resend' after the countdown finishes to receive a new link.
PreRequisites
- You are on the verification page (
/signup/verify-email).
Steps
-
Attempt to open the verification link from the email. If it fails, confirm the email message stating “This link will expire in 30 minutes for security reasons.”
This confirms the original verification link has expired. -
Return to the verification page and wait for the 'Resend' countdown (for example, 'Resend in 24s') to finish.
Once the countdown ends, the 'Resend' button becomes active. -
Click 'Resend' to request a new verification email, then use the new 'Verify my email' button or link inside the message.
A fresh verification email arrives, allowing you to verify successfully.
Troubleshooting
-
No verification email arrives after clicking 'Resend'.
Likely Cause: Email delivery delay or spam filtering.
Action: Check spam/junk folders, confirm the email address shown on, wait a moment, and try resending again. If needed, sign up again using a different email address.
Note: The 30-minute expiration message appears in the verification email to ensure account security.
