# Verify Your Email

Before you start using Writing Analytics, we'll ask you to verify your email address. If you ever lose access to your account, you'll be able to recover it through your email address. We may not be able to recover accounts created with temporary email addresses in cases we have no way to ascertain that you are truly the person who owns it.

{% hint style="info" %}
We strongly encourage using a **valid email address** to create your Writing Analytics account, and to keep it up to date when it changes.
{% endhint %}

We'll send you a confirmation email to activate your account immediately after signing up. Please check your spam folder or reach out to <support@writinganalytics.co> in case it doesn't arrive.
