FAQ
Q: What happens if I don't click the verification link? A: Your email address remains unchanged. You can request a new change at any time.
Q: Can I use an email address that is already associated with another account? A: No. Each email address must be unique across the platform. If the email is already in use, the server will return an error.
Q: How long is the verification link valid? A: The link uses a time-limited token. If it expires, you can request a new email change to receive a fresh link.
