Answer 1

this.get('model') inside Route will return model function not the record you created through model method. so either you need to move this action to corresponding controller or use controllerFor and get the model from controller.

Move actions to controllers/accounts/show/verification/index.js file.

import Ember from 'ember';
export default Ember.Controller.extend({
    actions: {
        /* account email verification */
        verifyEmail() {
            var model = this.get('model');
            var self = this;
            model.save().then(function(data) {
                // handle success
                // route user to success page
            }).catch((adapterError) => {
                console.log(adapterError);
            });
        }
    }
});
