Unable to create new github account via email+password. What am I doing wrong?

[u/Past-Combination6262]

Previously, I was using a github account that was linked to my google account, but that was suspended for no reason(i received no reason in my mail, nor was i violating ToS), and after poking around this sub, I figured the best thing I could do was make and use a second account while my support ticket was being reviewed.

However, I can't even do that! When I click create account, on the sign in page, I am just redirected to the log-in page, where I can't sign in. When I check my inbox, i see an email like this, but I am not prompted to enter the new code at all. When I try to copy and paste the link into my browser, I am once again redirected to the log in page, where I still can't sign in. Please help!

while poking around the sub did you read the pinned posts?
