I did not receive a verification email

Last updated: 3 months ago

During registration, you should receive a 6-digit verification code via email within a few minutes. If it does not arrive, here is how to fix it.

Check your spam folder

Verification emails sometimes end up in spam:

  • Check your spam or junk mail folder

  • Look for an email from Cathopic or [email protected]

  • If you find it there, mark it as "not spam"

  • This helps ensure future emails arrive in your inbox

Verify your email address

Make sure you entered the correct email:

  • Double-check for typos

  • Ensure there are no extra spaces

  • Use the correct email domain (.com, .org, etc.)

  • If incorrect, start the registration process again with the right email

Request a new verification code

The verification code expires after 20 minutes. To request a new one:

  1. Wait at least 2-3 minutes after the first request

  2. On the verification screen, click "Resend code"

  3. Check your inbox (and spam folder) again

  4. Enter the new 6-digit code within 20 minutes

Check your email provider

Some email providers have strict filters:

Gmail users:

  • Check the "Promotions" or "Updates" tabs

  • Search for "Cathopic" in all folders

Corporate or school emails:

  • Your organization may block automated emails

  • Try using a personal email address instead (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo)

Wait a few minutes

Sometimes emails are delayed:

  • Wait up to 10 minutes for the email to arrive

  • Refresh your inbox

  • Check all folders, including spam

Still not receiving emails?

If you have tried everything and still do not receive verification emails:

  1. Try registering with a different email address (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo)

  2. If the problem persists, visit our support page

  3. Select "Report a problem"

  4. Explain that you are not receiving verification emails

  5. Include the email address you tried to register with

Our team will investigate and help you complete your registration.
