Summary

Added clarification that email verification requires sign-in to the AWS account that added the email address and directs to AWS Management Console.

Security assessment

This change adds security documentation by clarifying the authentication requirements for email verification, ensuring users understand they must be signed into the correct AWS account. This helps prevent unauthorized verification attempts but doesn't address a specific security vulnerability.
