I'm Asked to Verify Each Time I Visit my Dashboard
If you are asked to verify your account each time you visit your dashboard, then this will be due to the type of browser you are using. When verifying your account, a token will be saved within your browser's cookies. This token indicates to our system that you have already verified your account using that specific browser. If you are asked to verify repeatedly, then keep an eye out for the following.
- Clearing your cookies & cache - This will remove the verification token from your cookies.
- Using different devices and/or browsers - The token will not exist in the new browser/device so you'll be asked to verify again.
- Using a private/incognito window - Private/incognito windows do not save cookies so the verification token will not be saved, which will lead to repeatedly having to verify.
- Verifying via Instagram direct messages - Similar to privates windows, IG's in-app browser does not save cookies, so you'll be asked to verify each time.
