Email Verification Troubleshooting

Fix common issues with email verification after registering.

After registering with email and password, you must verify your email address before you can access your portal. This page helps you resolve common verification issues.


How Verification Works

  1. After registration, you are taken to the Verify Your Email page
  2. Kompdesk sends a verification link to your email
  3. Click the link in the email. The page auto-detects when you have verified
  4. You are redirected to your portal

The page checks your verification status every few seconds automatically. You can also click "I've Verified - Check Now" to check manually.


Common Issues and Solutions

Email Not Received

  • Check your spam/junk folder: verification emails often land there
  • Wait a few minutes: email delivery can be delayed, especially with corporate providers
  • Click "Resend Verification Email": there is a progressive cooldown between resends (60 seconds, then 2 minutes, then 5 minutes)
  • Corporate email (Microsoft Outlook, Google Workspace, IBM) may have stricter filters. Check with your IT department if emails are being blocked

Verification Link Expired

Verification links expire after a set time. If yours has expired:

  1. Return to the Verify Your Email page
  2. Click "Resend Verification Email" to get a fresh link
  3. Use the new link immediately

Wrong Email Address

If you registered with the wrong email:

  1. On the verification page, click "Change email address"
  2. Enter your password to confirm your identity
  3. Warning: This deletes your current account and any associated data (organisation, subscription) so you can start fresh
  4. Re-register with the correct email address

Tips

  • Google Sign-In accounts are automatically verified. No email step needed
  • If you close the verification page, you can log in again and you will be redirected back to it
  • The resend cooldown resets if you refresh the page, but do not spam resend requests. It may trigger rate limiting
