I sure hope this isn’t a MtGox situation all over again.
tl;dr : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UPDATE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS WITH COINBASE. Updated to : Be aware that your email verification may get blocked by your email provider and you may need to do some investigating to find your verification email.
-
Update : After 1 week I’m finally back in my account.
- Your email provider may be blocking the email due to phishing attempts on Coinbase users. You may need to check with your provider to see if they/you can retrieve the email verification that was sent.
- If you’re using DoNotTrackMe to mask emails, the email is probably stuck in the temp inbox folder with DNT. Click DNT, click View Masked Emails / Temporary Inbox.
I hope this helps someone else having this issue!
