You have to send verification email manually?

Generally when you make an account on a site it asks you to verify your email before you can use the site. I don't remember anything like this happening for itch (maybe it happened I just forgot?), and I guess I assumed I could already use every feature on itch because I was never prompted otherwise. Then I tried to submit last minute to a game jam and it turns out you need to verify email to upload a game. I couldn't get access to my email in time and missed the submission window. Now I wonder how to verify my email, and after searching through countless menus there is a button to send a verification email buried in the settings somewhere. Is the user experience supposed to be like that? Did i miss something?

Itch can take some getting used to. It's very open source but very indie friendly. Just send me the project link once you have it, and I will send you a link to add it to the jam submissions.

If you hadn't asked this question i would've also  missed my submission window
