Safe Tech Help Guide

Why We Do Not Ask for Passwords or One-Time Codes

Our safety rule is simple: technicians should not ask customers to tell them passwords or one-time security codes.

Your IT & Tech Mates technician explaining that customers should never share passwords or one-time codes during safe IT support.
Customer safety promise: No passwords or one-time codes. Evidence is considered before deletion. Important actions are explained before they are performed.

Passwords remain private

Customers enter passwords themselves when needed. They should not read them aloud, send them in messages or place them in booking notes.

One-time codes are also private

A one-time security code can approve a login, password reset or payment. Customers should never give these codes to a technician or unexpected caller.

We guide without taking control

A technician can explain where to click and what to check while the customer keeps control of their own account and device.

Stop if something feels wrong

If anyone asks for a password, PIN, banking login or one-time code, pause and verify who they are using an independent contact method.
