  • Copy the users email address and ensure it is all lower case (caps will create an issue)
  • Go to the back end and search for the email address to check that it is all lower case too. If it isn't then change and save it.

Things to note

  • users cannot be verified if they have a generic email such as gmail, hotmail, aol etc
  • The user just needs to click on the link in the verification email
  • The email looks like spam and it comes from Amazon Web Services (AWS). It can end up in the users spam or junk folder so they should check their too
  • The email expires after 24 hours so they will need to be resent the verification email
  • Once they click on the link in the email it takes 2 hours for them to be verified. I always tell clients 2-3 hours just in case
  • This time frame can't be expedited
