There is a noted issue with these links expiring before they should, which we’re actively looking into at this time. Apologies for the inconvenience this may cause.

Epic, without a ticket number, there’s not a whole lot we can do for you via the forums. We are, however, still working on the issue. If you (or your girlfriend) are missing emails you expected to receive, you are right to be worried about email compromise. Please check out the articles on our support site about security to protect yourself.

I also specifically recommend setting up the mobile authenticator for your account, and for your girlfriend to do the same once she’s able to log in. Using mobile auth is more convenient than email auth (since you don’t have to worry about getting emails or having the links work) and more secure (since even if your email account is compromised, no one can get into your GW2 account without the mobile code).
