Note: This is important and please take the needed action to remain a part of any groups.io lists if you receive this communication from Groups.IO. This is completely beyond our control.
Many of you might have received communication from Groups.IO about needing to verify your account. Here is what their frequently asked question page says:
Some members have been sent an email with the subject Action Required: Confirm Your Groups.io Membership to Continue Receiving Group Emails. It asks the member to either respond to the email or log into their account to confirm their membership. Most such accounts are ones that haven't posted in a long time. It's important that all know that this email is legit. It's not a phish.
Any user who got the email and does not complete the confirmation/reverification by January 28, 2024, will be suspended from Groups.io. A few follow-on emails will be sent to non-responding members between now and January 28, 2024.
Members who received the reverification email have through Sunday, January 28, 2024, to either reply to the email or log into their Groups.io account.
If you reply to the email, you do not need to enter anything in the reply. You will be sent an acknowledgement email.
If you log into your account, you will see a green banner saying you've successfully reverified. You do not need to do anything else. If you don't have a password or don't remember your password, use the Forgot your password, or don't have one yet? link to have an email sent to you with a link that will log you in automatically. Once you log in, you will be reverified.
We will send additional reverification reminders until January 28, 2024. For members that are removed after this process, the removals will be logged in the group's Activity Log.
