Verify Your Email by Link in Housing Market Insights

Tutorial 8 of 30

Open the product

A Housing Market Insights account has to confirm its email address, and it does that with a link, not a code. If you sign in before you have confirmed, Insights shows a Check your email panel instead of the product: it says what to do and has one button, Send me a new verification email. This tutorial presses that button, shows the Wrong address option for an address typed wrongly at sign-up, opens the email Insights sends, and presses its link. After you press Confirm on the page the link opens, Insights recognises the confirmation by itself, so you do not sign in a second time. Nothing in this video asks you to type a code.

In this tutorial you will learn

  • What an unverified account sees after signing in
  • How to ask for a new verification email
  • What to do if you typed the wrong address
  • What the emailed link does, and that you press its button
  • Why you do not need to sign in again
