Verify your email or mobile number
Verifying shows the email address or mobile number on your account belongs to you. It also means you can get back in if you forget your password.
How to verify
- After you create your account, look for a message with a 6-digit code.
- Enter the code on the site.
Each code works for 10 minutes. After 5 wrong tries, the code stops working and you can ask for a new one.
Tip
Signing in with a code also verifies the address the code went to.
Important
Verify within 30 days. An unverified account nobody uses for 30 days is deleted, and so is an address still waiting for its code after 30 days.
What changes when you verify
Until you verify, you're signed in but some sites limit what you can do. For example, a site might let you browse and save favourites, and unlock posting, voting and uploading once you verify. Each site decides these limits.
When a site asks for your email address or mobile number, it also learns whether you've verified it.
If you didn't get the code
- Wait a minute. Messages can take a little while.
- Check your spam, junk or promotions folders for a message from noreply@omxus.com.
- Check the address or number you typed.
- Ask for a new code. The newest code replaces the last one.

Ask the site you were signing in to about its own service. For your Omxus account, try these next steps.
