How does Email Verification work?

Email Verification is enabled by default for your account.

This means we'll send a secure code to your email every time you sign in from a device we don't recognize.

In order to sign in to your account you'll need your username, password, and the verification code we send you, unless you choose to remember your device.

Note: The most secure type of 2-Step Verification we offer is Authenticator App Verification. If you'd like to use a more secure 2-Step Verification method, we recommend you use that option.
