Email Verification

Email verification is a required step to activate your Greendex account and ensure the security of your organization data.

Why Verification is Required

Email verification helps:

• Confirm your identity - Ensures you own the email address
• Secure your account - Prevents unauthorized access
• Enable communication - Allows us to send important notifications
• Protect your data - Adds a layer of security to your organization

The Verification Process

After Sign Up

When you create a new Greendex account:

1. Check your inbox - Look for an email from Greendex
2. Open the verification email - Subject: "Verify your email address"
3. Click the verification link - This confirms your email
4. Account activated - You're ready to use Greendex

Verification Email Contents

The email contains:

• A personalized greeting
• A "Verify Email" button/link
• Information about what happens next
• Support contact information

Resending Verification Email

If you didn't receive the verification email or it expired:

From the Verify Email Page

1. You'll see the verify email page immediately after signup
2. Your email address is displayed on the page
