Verify Your Email by Link in Housing Market Ads

Tutorial 11 of 53

A new Housing Market Ads account has to confirm its email address before it can be used, and it does that with a link, not a code. Until you do, you can sign in and open your profile, and a banner at the top of the page says what to do. This tutorial shows the banner and the short message that replaces the dashboard, then asks for a new verification email with one button, shows the email Housing Market Ads sends, and presses the link in it. The page notices the confirmation by itself, so there is no second sign-in, and the dashboard is available. It also shows "Wrong address? Change my email address", for an address typed wrongly at sign-up. Nothing in this video asks you to type a code.

In this tutorial you will learn

What an unverified account can and cannot do
Where the verification banner is and what its button does
What the verification email looks like and how long its link works
What happens in the dashboard after you press the link
What to do if you typed the wrong address

Follow along: the steps
