# Email confirmation

> Why you confirm your email address before using WatchMyCover, and what to do if the link does not arrive.

WatchMyCover sends email in your company's name to your subcontractors and colleagues, so it needs to know the address behind each account is real. A new account confirms its email address before it can use anything in the app.

## After you sign up

You are signed in straight away, and see **Confirm your email address**: "We sent a link to *your address*. Open it to start setting up WatchMyCover. It works for 24 hours."

* Open the link in the email. It signs you in, confirmed, and onboarding starts.
* If you opened it on another device or tab, come back and choose **I have confirmed it**.
* **Send a new link** sends a fresh one. Check spam first.
* **Wrong address? Sign out** lets you start again with the right one.

## If the link has expired

Opening an expired or already-used link shows "That confirmation link has expired or was already used. Send a new one below." Choose **Send a new link**.

## Invited colleagues

Someone who joins through an invitation does not need a separate confirmation: accepting the invitation proves they received it. Completing a password reset also confirms the address.

## Where to check

**Settings → Your sign-in → Email address** shows **Confirmed** once it is.
