# A new layer of security: email verification

[date: 2026-06-25T11:51:03.280+02:00]

We've added a small but meaningful safeguard to DatoCMS accounts: email verification. Before a handful of sensitive actions, we now make sure the email address on your account really belongs to you. It runs quietly in the background, and most of the time you won't even notice it.

#### When it kicks in

We only ask for a verified email before actions that affect other people or move projects between accounts:

-   Inviting someone to your organization
-   Transferring a project to another account or organization
    
-   Accepting a project that's being transferred to you
-   Joining a project or organization you've been invited to
    

#### How it works

When you sign up, we send a confirmation email. Click the link inside and you're verified for good.

If you reach one of these actions before you've verified, we'll pause and send that email for you automatically (or resend it, if it's been a while). Click the link, and we'll pick up right where you left off, with nothing to redo and nothing to start over. You'll only go through this once.
