Step 1: Log in to inaturalist.org
Step 2: See banner at top
Step 3: Follow instructions to send email and log out
Step 4: No confirmation email arrives, not even in my spam folder
Same here and now I am locked out. The only message I see at the top of the page is to click the link in the email that never arrived. Please fix this!
Signed up for the forum finally after being an iNaturalist member since March of 2020. Thought I’d add my report of being locked out after the email address confirmation. Sent an email to the inaturalist.org address sharing this concern without response so far. Anything further I should do? Did immediately receive an email confirmation for this group. When I attempt to sign in, “Please check your email and click the link in the email you received to confirm your account.” appears in a yellow box over the featured picture. No email for the confirmation has been received yet.
Hi, I have the same problem. Only now I can’t redo the process and ask for a confirmation email. Where can I ask for the email with the confirmation link? Thanks
Thanks @firos_ak . My issue is resolved now as the email was in different as I’d redirected all my email from inaturalist to differrent folder and also archived it. Now I reinstated with the account.
I am having the same issue. Sent the email. I have logged out of my email account a few times and still no email. I am now locked out of iNaturalist? Not sure the bug is fixed or the problem addressed. Seems that way. Thank you.
If you don’t receive an email, it’d be best to email help@inaturalist.org. Since your email address is part of that email, it’s easier for us to investigate. It takes longer to get someone’s email address here on the forum, and that’s really the information we need to look into it.
I just tried searching “confirmation instructions” in my email and the message had been labeled junk and deleted. I don’t usually have this sort of problem with gmail.
@tiwane - When I click “Send and Sign Out” it neither sends the email, nor signs me out (luckily). I do, however, get the following console errors (using Chrome on MacOS):
PUT https://api.inaturalist.org/v2/users/13405 422 (Unprocessable Entity)

I get the same errors if I click the “Save Settings” button as well.
