## Verification emails

Enabling email verification in an application’s settings allows the application to reserve part of its experience for users with confirmed email addresses.

Email verification adds the emailVerified key to the Parse.User object. When a Parse User’s email is set or modified, then emailVerified is set to <font color="#2166ae">`false`</font>. Parse then emails the user a link that will automatically set emailVerified to true.

This block looks like this:
