Prioritizing verification codes

Nothing's more frustrating than waiting on a one-time code to sign in, only to find your email blocker has tucked it away.

Leave Me Alone can spot login links and verification codes and treat them as priority, so they always land in your inbox, even from a sender you've never heard from before.

This is part of the Priority Senders feature, and it's turned on by default.

What counts as a login code?

We look for the kind of email you only get when you're trying to access something, including:

• One-time passcodes (OTPs)
• Login links and magic links
• Email address verification and confirmation links
• Two-factor authentication (2FA) and security codes

When an email looks like one of these, we let it skip the Screener, Spam Blocker, Rollups, and Do-not-disturb, so it goes straight to your inbox.

How to turn it on or off

1. Go to the Priority Senders page.
2. Scroll down to the Options section.
3. Use the Prioritize login links and verification codes toggle to switch it on or off.

Your choice is saved straight away, there's nothing else to do.

Good to know

• It's on by default. If you've never touched this setting, login codes are already being let through.
• It only kicks in when something would otherwise hold the email back. If the Screener and Do-not-disturb are both off, your mail reaches your inbox anyway, so there's nothing for us to rescue.
• It's a Priority Senders feature. You'll need a plan that includes Priority Senders to use it. If you don't have one yet, you can upgrade from the Priority Senders page.
• You'll see it in your history. When we let one of these emails through, it shows up in your history as an "allowed" action, so you can always see what happened.

If a code still gets blocked

We catch the vast majority of login codes, but no detection is perfect. If one slips through and gets blocked:

1. Open your Screener and allow the sender so future emails from them come straight through.
2. If it keeps happening, get in touch with support and let us know which sender it was, we'll take a look.
