# How to Verify Admin Email

Once you have logged into the Astera client, you can set up an admin email to access the Astera server. This will also allow you to be able to use the “*Forgot Password*” option at the time of log in.

In this document, we will discuss how to verify admin email in Astera.

### Verifying Admin Email

1\. Once logged in, we will now proceed to enter an email address to associate with the admin user by verifying the email address.

Go to *Server > Configure > Step 3: Verify Admin Email*
