    • A verification code is 8 alpha-numeric characters in length and is only valid for 30 minutes.

    • If you do not receive an email, check your spam, junk, and other folders. The email comes from noreply@auth.drakesoftware.com which is sometimes flagged or sorted by your email provider.

    • You may need to add noreply@auth.drakesoftware.com to your email provider's safe sender's list. Steps will vary depending on the email provider being used.

  • An authentication passcode is 6 numeric characters in length and is only valid for 30 minutes.

  • If you do not receive an email, check your spam, junk, and other folders. The email comes from noreply@auth.drakesoftware.com which is sometimes flagged or sorted by your email provider.
