## 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).
