The link in the e-mail is invalid or has expired

Getting a new link when a verification, password reset, e-mail change or invitation link does not open.

/panel/verify Open the screen/panel/reset Open the screen/panel/invite Open the screen

The links sent by e-mail work once and for a limited time. When you ask for a new link of the same kind, the previous link becomes invalid. If a link does not open for one of these reasons, the message "This link is invalid, already used or expired." appears on the screen.

Link Default validity Where to ask for a new link
E-mail verification 48 hours The Send a new link button on the screen that opens, or the Resend the link button in the panel
Password reset 60 minutes The Ask for a new link link on the screen that opens
E-mail change 48 hours The Change link on the My profile page
Account invitation 14 days The person who sent the invitation
  1. Make sure that you opened the complete link from the e-mail.
  2. If the link still does not open, ask for a new link in the place the table shows.
  3. Open the link in the newest e-mail you received.

If you completed an action with a link, the same link does not open a second time. In that case the action has already been done, and you can sign in directly.
