      Thanks for letting us know Dawn. The two step verification (having and email sent to you to confirm you really meant to sign up) is really just there to keep people from accidentally signing up then feeling as if they are being sent spam because they didn’t mean to. Was there another step too? We want to keep people signing up and coming back so we really appreciate your input!
