Bestätigungslink

Bestätigungslink is a term often encountered in online processes, particularly during account creation or registration. It refers to a specific hyperlink sent to a user's provided email address or, less commonly, via SMS. The primary purpose of this link is to verify that the email address or phone number belongs to the user and that they have access to it.

When a user signs up for a service or requests to reset their password, the system generates a unique confirmation link. This link is then dispatched to the contact information provided by the user. By clicking on this link, the user essentially confirms their ownership of the email address or phone number. This step is crucial for security and to prevent fraudulent activities, such as creating accounts with fake or unauthorized contact details.

Upon clicking the confirmation link, the user is typically redirected to a webpage that confirms their action. This might result in the activation of their account, the successful completion of a password reset, or another desired outcome. If the link is not clicked within a specified timeframe, it usually expires, requiring the user to resend the confirmation request. This mechanism helps maintain the integrity of user data and ensures that communication channels are valid.
