A publishing platform for articles. Social platforms verify an address to cut down on bot sign-ups and to give you a way to recover the account.
Before you use a temporary address for Medium. A temporary inbox expires after 2 hours, so you cannot recover the account or reset its password later. Use it for throwaway or test accounts only.
When you register, Medium usually sends a verification link to the address you gave it. The sender, subject and exact wording are Medium's own and can change, so look for a message that arrived right after you submitted the form.
Medium signs you in with an emailed link instead of a password, so the inbox must stay open until you click it.
Testing a social integration or a content workflow often needs a clean account that is not tied to a personal inbox.
With the Emailsify MCP server, an agent creates an address, fills in the Medium form, then waits for the verification email. That wait returns only the extracted link, not the whole email, which keeps untrusted text away from the model. See how to connect your agent.
Use a temporary inbox when you only need to look around Medium and you can afford to lose the account. Switch to an address you own if the account will hold anything you care about, if you need billing receipts, or if you may need a password reset.
Emailsify is an independent service and is not affiliated with Medium. Follow Medium's terms of service.
That is Medium's decision and it changes over time, so we cannot promise it. If Medium rejects the address, do not try to disguise it. Use an address you control instead, especially for an account you want to keep.
Usually a few seconds after Medium sends it. The delay is mostly on the sender's side. Keep the inbox open: it refreshes automatically, and Medium codes and links are short-lived.
No. Mail is deleted 2 hours after it arrives and the address cannot be reclaimed, so a password reset later would go nowhere. Use a permanent address for any Medium account you intend to keep.
Yes, on a Pro plan. The agent creates an inbox, submits the form, then waits for the link, which it receives the moment it arrives. Whether automating a Medium sign-up is allowed depends on Medium's terms.
