Email Verification

Email verification confirms that you own the email address associated with your LavishMade account. Verifying your email helps secure your account and ensures you receive important notifications.

Why Verify Your Email?

Email verification is important for:

• Account security: Confirms you own the email address
• Password recovery: Required for password reset emails
• Important notifications: Ensures you receive account and security alerts
• Account recovery: Helps recover your account if you lose access
• Email changes: Required when changing your email address

When Email Verification is Required

You'll need to verify your email:

• After signup: When you first create your account
• After email change: When you change your email address
• If unverified: If your email becomes unverified for any reason

How to Verify Your Email

To verify your email address:

1. Check your email inbox for a verification email from LavishMade
2. Look for the subject line "Confirm your account" or similar
3. Click the verification link in the email
4. You'll be redirected back to LavishMade
5. Your email will be verified

The verification link is typically valid for a set period (usually 24-48 hours). If it expires, you can request a new verification email.

Resending Verification Email

If you didn't receive the verification email:

1. Check your spam or junk folder
2. Wait a few minutes - emails can sometimes be delayed
3. Make sure you entered the correct email address
4. Request a new verification email from your account settings or the signup page
5. Check that emails from LavishMade aren't being blocked

You can request a new verification email as many times as needed.

You can check your verification status:

• In account settings: Your email verification status is shown in Account Settings
• Email notifications: You may receive reminders if your email is unverified
• Account restrictions: Some features may be limited until verification

After Verification

Once your email is verified:

• You'll have full access to all account features
• You can reset your password if needed
• You'll receive important account notifications
• Your account is more secure
• You can change your email address (requires re-verification)

Changing Your Email

When you change your email address:

1. You'll need to verify the new email address
2. A verification email will be sent to your new address
3. Your old email remains active until you verify the new one
4. Once verified, the new email becomes your primary address
5. You'll need to verify again if you change emails in the future
