How do I verify my e-mail address?

Nimanto proves you own an e-mail address before it trusts it. A six-digit code goes to the address, and the account, change or reset completes only once you type it in.

When you are asked for a code

• Signing up with e-mail and password. The account is created only after the code is entered.
• Changing your e-mail under Account settings. The code goes to the new address, and the account moves once it is entered.
• Resetting a forgotten password. The code lets you set a new one.

Signing up with Google or Apple needs no code: the address comes already confirmed.

Enter the code

1. 1Open the e-mail from Nimanto and copy the six digits.
2. 2Type or paste them into the Verification code box. The sixth digit submits by itself.
3. 3If asked, choose the button underneath, such as Verify & create account or Set new password & log in.

A code works for a short while and allows a few wrong tries. If it has expired or you have run out of tries, ask for a new one.

The code did not arrive

1. 1Check your spam or promotions folder. The hint under the box reminds you.
2. 2Make sure the address is right. Change details takes you back to the form with everything kept.
3. 3Choose Resend code once it becomes available after a short wait. Always use the newest code.

If an address's domain cannot receive mail at all, Nimanto says so instead of sending a code nobody will get. Check the spelling of the domain.

Confirmed or not confirmed

Under Account settings → Sign-in & security your e-mail carries a Confirmed or Not confirmed badge. A password reset also marks the address confirmed if it was not already.
