Access code verification — step by step
Some Katalyz rooms require you to confirm your email with a code before opening. It takes 30 seconds. Here's exactly how.
When you'll see this
If the sender picked Access code verification as the access setting (typically for sensitive content like pricing or contracts), you'll be asked for a code after entering your email.
Step 1 — Enter your email
The login page reads Join the conversation. — "Enter your email to step inside." Enter the exact address the room was shared with in the Work email field (if you got the invitation at jane@acme.com, enter that, not a personal email).
Click Continue.
Step 2 — Get the 6-digit code
The page switches to Check your inbox. — "We sent a 6-digit code to jane@acme.com." Within a minute, you'll receive an email from no-reply@katalyz.co (or the sender's branded subdomain) with the code.

If the email doesn't arrive, see I didn't receive the email. Typed the wrong address? Click Go back.
Step 3 — Enter the code
Type the 6 digits in the Access code field and click Verify & access.
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. A moment later an optional Mind introducing yourself? card lets you add your name and job title — Not now skips it.
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
