Meteor accounts verifyEmail - meteor

Question

I am trying to make email verification that with the accounts-password package work however I have come across a weird problem.
It seems the # in the email verification URL is causing an issue. The verification email URL usually looks like : http://localhost:3000/#/verify-email/cnaTqQSCgYAksIsFo5FgmV94NHwrfaM2g5GvdZDUMlN
When I click on this, nothing seems to happen; it just re-directs to localhost:3000/#
However when I remove the # (http://localhost:3000/verify-email/cnaTqQSCgYAksIsFo5FgmV94NHwrfaM2g5GvdZDUMlN) this seems to work perfectly.
The URL (http://localhost:3000/#/verify-email/cnaTqQSCgYAksIsFo5FgmV94NHwrfaM2g5GvdZDUMlN) comes from Meteor so it's not something I create.
Here are my routes and controllers (using iron-router)
Router.route('/verify-email/:_token', {
controller : 'AccountController',
action : 'verifyEmail'
});
AccountController = RouteController.extend({
fastRender: true,
data: function () {},
onBeforeAction: function () {
this.render('Loading');
this.next();
},
verifyEmail: function() {
var verificationToken = this.params._token;
console.log(verificationToken);
Accounts.verifyEmail(verificationToken, function(error) {
if (error) {
console.log(error);
} else {
Router.go('/');
}
});
}
});
Any help is appreciated.

The conflict might be connected to the accounts-password package together with iron:router as outlined here:
...add a server file that overrides the urls with # paths that Meteor creates, so that the Iron-Router can work:
(function () {
"use strict";
Accounts.urls.resetPassword = function (token) {
return Meteor.absoluteUrl('reset-password/' + token);
};
Accounts.urls.verifyEmail = function (token) {
return Meteor.absoluteUrl('verify-email/' + token);
};
Accounts.urls.enrollAccount = function (token) {
return Meteor.absoluteUrl('enroll-account/' + token);
};
})();
Hope it will guide you in the right direction.
