# Activating your account by email

After signing up with an email address and password, Bulido sends an activation link to that address. Confirming the link proves the inbox is yours; the account can't be signed in until it's activated.

The step is skipped in markets where Bulido verifies the phone number during sign-up, and for sign-ins via Google or Apple — the provider has already verified the email address.

## How it works

1. After registration, you'll receive an email titled "Activate your Bulido account."
2. Open the email and click **Activate account**. The link is valid for 24 hours.
3. Once your address is confirmed, we sign you in and take you to the dashboard.

Attempting to sign in before activation will surface a message that the account is awaiting confirmation.

## Can't see the email?

- Check your spam or promotions folder — automated messages often land there on first delivery.
- Confirm the email address was entered without a typo.
- Wait a minute or two. Delivery is usually instant but can be delayed under load.

If the email still hasn't arrived, click **Resend email** on the "Check your email" screen — the new link replaces the previous one.

## The link doesn't work

Each activation link can be used once and expires after 24 hours. If you see "This activation link has expired" or "already used," request a new link from the registration screen.
