# Verify email address

For security reasons, Cloudflare attempts to verify the email address associated with your account. You cannot perform certain tasks within the Cloudflare dashboard - for example, adding a new member or updating your communication preferences - without verifying your email.

When you first create an account, Cloudflare automatically sends a message to the email address you provided for your account.

To verify your email:

- Log into your email provider and find your recent message from Cloudflare. If you cannot find the message, check your Spam folder.
- Click the link in the email.
- Log into Cloudflare to verify the email address associated with your account.

If you cannot find your verification email or your email has expired, request another verification email:

- Log into the Cloudflare dashboard ↗.
- Go to
**My Profile**. - For
**Email Address**, select**Send verification email**(if this option is not available, your email has already been verified).

If you experience issues with your verification link, you might have already verified your email address.

To check:

- Log into the Cloudflare dashboard ↗.
- Go to
**My Profile**. - For
**Email Address**, your email address will have`(verified)`

added after it.

If your email is still not verified, try clicking the verification link in a different browser or an incognito window.

If this still does not work, try resending the verification email to get a new verification link.
