How to verify your email address

Learn about the email verification gate, resend cooldown limits, signed link throttling, VerifiedUser role, and display name locking.

Email verification is a mandatory account security step required to access full marketplace features.

1 Email Verification Gate & Cooldown Limits

The verified middleware gates almost all main application and settings routes. If you need a new verification link, click resend from the verification banner.

  • Resend Cooldown: Resending verification emails requires a 5-minute cooldown between requests.
  • Daily Request Limit: Verification resends are capped at 3 per day. Reaching the 3rd resend triggers an automatic alert to platform administrators.
  • Link Throttling: Verification links are signed and throttled to 6 requests per minute.

2 VerifiedUser Role & Display Name Lock

Verifying your email promotes your account to VerifiedUser. This unlocks direct messaging capabilities (canMessage()) and locks your public display name.
