}Retries and asynchronous work
This change does not have a general retry guarantee. If the response is unclear, read the affected resource before trying again. Follow Retry-After waiting times and request new sign-in or action codes when they expire.
HTTP 202 means the background job was accepted. Use the returned job ID to check its status. Download results when the job is complete, or inspect its error or cancellation status.
Request examples
Replace demo IDs, timestamps and placeholders with your own values. For a retry, keep the same IDs, time and content. These examples do not run requests on this page.
Keep login links, codes, cookies and keys private. Do not print them in logs or share them in support requests.

- POST Request a code for one sensitive action
Request a six-digit confirmation code for a sensitive account or workspace change. It lasts five minutes and allows five incorrect attempts. Use the same signed-in browser, action, target and parameters when confirming. A replacement requested after 60 seconds invalidates the previous code for that action. For your own account use link_identity, unlink_identity, add_passkey, remove_passkey or delete_self; workspace membership actions require owner permission. Do not use sign-in codes to confirm changes.
- DELETE Cancel your pending action confirmation
Only an outstanding confirmation belonging to the current account and session can be cancelled.
- POST Confirm a new email address and revoke sessions
Confirm a new email address and revoke sessions.
