When signing up for a new MapQuest account, or going through the password reset steps, you will receive a verification code via email that will need to be entered before you can access your account.
Once you arrive on the screen where the code is to be entered, it is very important that you do not leave this page. We will then ask you to check your email which will need to be done in a separate tab within your browser, in a separate browser instance, or via your mobile phone or tablet so you can retrieve the code while ensuring you have not left the verification code screen.
Every time you leave the verification code screen to check your email, then return to it - it will create a new session, therefore a new code, and will deem your previous code invalid.
Once you access the code in a separate tab, browser, or mobile device, all you'll have to do is go back to the open MapQuest tab to enter it.
