When you create an account on a Housing Market portal, we email you a link to confirm your address. This tutorial shows what you see until you do: a banner at the top of your account that says your email address is not confirmed, and that you can look around but cannot use your account yet. It shows how to ask for a new verification email, how to change the address if it was typed wrong, and what happens when you open the link in the email: a page asks you to press Confirm my email, and once you do, your address is confirmed and you are taken on to sign in. There is nothing to type: no code, only the link. The screens show an invented example account.

In this tutorial you will learn

  • What the email banner means
  • How to ask for a new verification email
  • How to change an address typed wrong
  • How to confirm with the link in the email
