If you are a member of an {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_emu_enterprise %} and your account was created from August 2024, your email address is unverified by default. Having an unverified email address does not affect most actions you can take on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.

If you are a member of an {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_emu_enterprise %}, your email address is considered unverified if it is used as a verified email by another account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. To verify the email, you will need to unverify the email address for the other account, then verify it for your {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %}. See "[AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-email-preferences/changing-your-primary-email-address)." | ||
Until you verify your email address, your account will use a placeholder email address with your enterprise's shortcode appended for certain operations. For example, the REST API endpoint for users will return `[email protected]`. In rare cases, you may find that third-party apps or your company's email provider do not handle the placeholder email correctly. | ||
