Verify your email address
-------------------------

When your account is created, we send a verification email to confirm your address. Until you verify it, a banner appears at the top of the page whenever you are logged in. It reads: **"To complete your registration and unlock all functionality you must verify your email."**

If you did not receive the email, or it has expired, you can resend it yourself:

![The email verification notice, with the Resend verification email button](/storage/gaEkyrKaX1bQdeyuIsa7cXTEZIG8pAQ8mgh9CWRO.png)

1. Log in to your account.
2. At the top of the page, locate the banner reminding you to verify your email address.
3. Click the **Resend verification email** link in the banner. This opens the **Verify your email** page.
4. Click the **Resend verification email** button on that page to send a new email.
5. Open the new email and click the verification link to confirm your address. Once verified, the banner no longer appears and all functionality is unlocked.

Forgotten your password and can't log in? You don't need to verify your email first. On the login screen click **Forgot password** (or visit **/forgot-password**), enter your email, and follow the link to reset it. See [Manage your password](/articles/9176759048207-Manage-your-password) for details.

If you enter the right email and password but see a message that your account has been deactivated, an administrator has switched your account off. Contact your administrator to have it reactivated.
