## About email verification for {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_users %} | ||
|
||
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 %}. However, in rare cases it may prevent you from accessing some third-party {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}. | ||
Enterprise Managed Users (EMUs) must now prove ownership of their email addresses to secure their accounts and prevent any accidental data leaks by third party GitHub Apps and OAuth applications. | ||
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. | ||
|
||
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. | ||
Having an unverified email address does not affect most actions you can take on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}. However, we **recommend email verification** for additional account security and to prevent potential exploitation of third-party {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %} which may not have followed our best practices around secure authentication methods for apps (see [AUTOTITLE](/apps/oauth-apps/building-oauth-apps/best-practices-for-creating-an-oauth-app) and [AUTOTITLE](/apps/creating-github-apps/about-creating-github-apps/best-practices-for-creating-a-github-app)). | ||

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 [AUTOTITLE](/rest/users/users) and [AUTOTITLE](/rest/users/emails) will return `[email protected]`. In rare cases, you may find that your company's email provider does not handle the placeholder email correctly, or that the placeholder prevents you from accessing some third-party {% data variables.product.prodname_github_apps %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_oauth_apps %}. | ||

You cannot verify an email address for your {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %} if the email address is already verified by another account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}. To verify the email, you will need to unverify the email address on the conflicting 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). | ||
