My Claude Code sign-in email hasn't arrived
Give it five minutes before doing anything. This email is routinely slow, and it is the slowest part of setting codus up. If it still has not arrived after that, use the resend link on the sign-in page, which usually works straight away.
Nothing is broken and you have not mistyped anything. This just happens.
While you wait
Check your junk or spam folder, and search your mail for "Anthropic" rather than scrolling your inbox, since it may have been filed somewhere you would not look.
If it still has not come
- Go back to the sign-in page in your browser.
- Use the option to send the email again.
- Wait another few minutes.
The second attempt usually lands quickly, even when the first never turns up.
Check the address
Look closely at the address you signed in with, particularly whether it has a full stop in it. firstname.lastname@ and firstnamelastname@ are different addresses, and it is an easy one to get wrong when typing quickly. If the address is not exactly the one on your Claude account, start again with the correct one.
If your account belongs to a company workspace
If your Claude account is part of a team or enterprise workspace, sign-in can fail in ways that are hard to interpret. Try a personal Claude account with its own paid plan instead.
How do I know it worked?
Back in Terminal, Claude Code moves on from waiting and asks you the next question, about trusting the folder. From there, work through the remaining prompts with the arrow keys and return.
Still stuck
If two resends have not arrived after fifteen minutes, that is worth reporting. This one is on Anthropic's side rather than ours, so their support can also help, but tell us and we will make sure you are not blocked.
