My verification code
didn't arrive.

Where the email gets caught, how to resend, and the two-minute fix if it still doesn't land.

Wait five minutes before resending. Most OTPs land within a minute or two, but slow inbox routing can push it to five. Resending too fast triggers our anti-abuse cooldown.

OTP delivery problems are almost always inbox-side, not nouz-side. The diagnostic below catches the three most common causes — and if none apply, support can verify you manually.

01 Check three places first

  • Spam folder. Gmail in particular sometimes files first-time senders to spam. Mark our email "not spam" once and future codes go to inbox.
  • Promotions tab (Gmail only). Some accounts file transactional email here.
  • The email you typed. Double-check the spelling on the signup or verify form. .con instead of .com is the most common typo.

02 Resend the code

On the /verify screen, the Resend button is greyed out for the first 30 seconds, then becomes clickable. Clicking it cancels the old code and issues a fresh one. The fresh code arrives within a minute.

03 If it still doesn't arrive

If you've waited five minutes, checked spam, and resent — and still nothing — email support@nouz.co from the same email address. We can verify you manually within the business day.

04 Corporate inboxes

Corporate inbox? Company email filters quarantine first-time senders. Ask your IT to whitelist support@nouz.co if our emails never seem to arrive.

If your nouz email is on a corporate domain (something@yourbusiness.com) and OTPs never seem to arrive — even after checking spam, even after resending — your IT department's mail filter is the likely culprit. Quickest workaround: use a personal Gmail / Apple / Outlook for nouz, then change to your business email later when IT has whitelisted us.
