New user verification links (Verify Account links) sent to new users expire based on your organization's session settings. This feature is useful for ensuring secure onboarding new users must set their password within the configured window before the link expires. For example, if a user doesn't check their email promptly after being added to an org, their Verify Account link may expire before they can set their password, preventing them from logging in. Administrators can configure the expiration period to match their organization's security and onboarding requirements.

The Verify Account link behaves as follows:
If the Verify Account link has expired or become invalid, the user cannot use it to set their password. A System Administrator must reset the user's password to trigger a new verification email containing a fresh link.
If you need the expiration window adjusted beyond the available settings and have reviewed all relevant documentation, please have a System Administrator submit a limit increase request with Support.
