If the email doesn’t arrive

The email can take a minute. If it hasn’t come, here is what usually helps.

  • Look in your spam or junk folder.
  • Wait a minute and try once more: press “Use a different address”, check the address you typed, and press “Send me a link” again.
  • The link works once and lasts 20 minutes.
  • The same email has a six-digit code. You can type it into the sign-in page instead of opening the link.
  • Some workplace mail systems open links before you do, to check them, which can use the link up. The code is the dependable way in that case.
