Redmi — declining authorisation of customer owned devices

Address:

Bangalore, Karnataka, 560060

I have a redmi note 5 pro cell phone. My phone was slow and hence i thought of factory resetting the phone from the boot menu. The data was wiped successfully but i am unable to use my phone as it says i need to sign in to the mi account. I have registered my e-mail address and phone no. With the mi account but i am not getting any verification code on my e-mail to complete my sign in. On checking on the support forums i see that there are other customers who are facing the same exact issue. Apparently there is a bug in their system.
If the customer has a gmail account the recovery link/code never goes to gmail. This is declining the customer's right to access a device that they have purchased it. Redmi is making customer's life hell by creating such non-sense. They should be punished for making customer life difficult.
