Magic code verification — step by step

Some Katalyz rooms require you to verify your email before opening. It takes 30 seconds. Here's exactly how.

When you'll see this

If the sender picked Magic code verification as the access setting (typically for sensitive content like pricing or contracts), you'll be asked to verify.

Step 1 — Enter your email

The page asks for your email address. Enter the exact address the room was shared with (if you got the invitation at jane@acme.com, enter that, not a personal email).

Click Send code.

Step 2 — Get the 6-digit code

Within a minute, you'll receive an email from no-reply@katalyz.co (or the sender's branded subdomain) with a 6-digit code.

The email subject will be something like "Your Katalyz access code".

If the email doesn't arrive, see I didn't receive the email.

Step 3 — Enter the code

Back on the verification page, type the 6-digit code.

Click Verify.

Step 4 — You're in

You now have access to the room. You won't need to re-verify on this device/browser unless you clear cookies or switch devices.

Codes expire quickly

For security, codes are valid for a few minutes. If you wait too long and get an error, just request a new code.

Why this extra step?

This extra step is only for sensitive rooms. It:

Confirms the sender really intended the room for you
Prevents unauthorized access if a link is forwarded by mistake
Gives both sides confidence for pricing, contract, or signature work

I don't have access to the email the room was sent to

If the room was shared with a work email you no longer have access to, or shared with a colleague who's out of office:

Ask the sender to re-share with an address you do have access to
Katalyz cannot bypass verification on your behalf — that would defeat the purpose
