What can I do if I don’t receive the email verification code?

It can take up to 10 minutes for a code to arrive. We suggest you first check your Spam, Junk and Trash folders for the email. If you still have not received it, then trigger a new code by clicking 'Get a new code' on the screen.

What can I do if I didn’t complete email verification?

If you have not completed your email verification, sign in with your email and password and this will trigger sending you a new email verification code.

What can I do if I didn’t complete mobile phone number verification?

If you have not completed your mobile phone number verification, go to 'My Account', then 'Account Settings' and 'View mobile number'. You will then have the option to verify your mobile number.
