Claude Verification Code Not Sending – How to Fix
Wait 5–10 minutes, check spam/junk, stop spamming resend, and confirm the email/phone is correct. If using iCloud/Outlook/corporate email, check quarantine and filters.
Step-by-Step Fix
1. Confirm Email / Phone Number
Make sure you’re verifying the correct address/number.
2. Check Spam/Junk and Quarantine
- Gmail: Promotions + All Mail
- Outlook/M365: Junk + Quarantine
- iCloud: Junk + Rules
3. Resend Once, Then Wait
Click resend once, then wait 5–10 minutes.
4. Disable Filters and Forwarders
Temporarily disable rules that auto-delete or forward.
5. Try Another Provider
If possible, try a different email inbox (Gmail is usually the most reliable).
6. Try Another Network / Device
Some networks block verification flows; mobile hotspot can help.
7. Contact Support
Provide the email/phone used and the approximate time you requested the code.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Troubleshooting the wrong account or workspace.
- Retrying without checking whether there is an active outage or plan restriction.
- Clearing local state only after multiple failed attempts instead of testing in a clean browser first.
What to Gather Before Contacting Support
- Capture the exact error message and the time it happened.
- Record whether the issue happens on another browser, device, or network.
- Note which account, workspace, or subscription plan is affected.
