Why My Protonmail Verification Failed Error Occur?

If it's from the valid sender with a valid signature, a warning sign will not be seen next to the sender’s email address, or else you can see a red alert sign next to the sender’s email address. Similarly, if the signature is not valid, you could see the red alert sign near the email attachments as well.
