I'm Having Trouble Confirming My Email

Email confirmation is an important security check that helps prevent other people from signing up for a Twitter account using your email address. If you need to confirm your email address, you'll see a yellow warning notice when you log in to twitter.com, like the one shown below. If you need a step-by-step tutorial on how to confirm your email address, check out this article: How Do I Confirm My Email Address?

Having trouble confirming your email?

1. If you have received the confirmation email, but aren't able to click the link, copy the full URL from the email and paste it into a new web browser window. Or click the "Resend confirmation" link on the yellow nag shown below. We'll resend you a new link you can try.

2. If you haven't received the confirmation email, please:

• Check the junk mail folder or spam filter in your email account.
• Make sure your email address is entered correctly.
• Try resending the email by logging in and clicking the Resend Confirmation Link. This link will be in the yellow banner at the top of twitter.com.
• If you have multiple email addresses, try using a different email with your Twitter account.

3. If you still aren't receiving the confirmation email:

• Try clicking the "Resend confirmation" link again after a couple of days. We send the emails immediately when you create your account, but it's possible that your email provider was temporarily blocking emails from us, or delivery was delayed.
• Use an email from a large domain. Delivery to these domains is more consistent. You can create a new email account with one of the major free email providers – we've found that emails from Twitter are nearly always delivered to these major webmail providers like gmail.com, yahoo.com, or hotmail.com.
• If you'd like more information about why you may not be receiving Twitter emails, please see this article on email delivery.
• If you're still having trouble, contact our Support team for more help.

What happens if you don't confirm your email?

If you don't confirm your email address, you won't receive any email updates from Twitter (for instance, notifications when you have a new follower or when someone sends you a Direct Message or when you request a password reset). Additionally, you will have limited access to certain other features on Twitter until you have confirmed.
