Should I ask customers to send passwords or one-time codes?

No. The templates explicitly tell shoppers not to send passwords, one-time codes, backup codes, private links, ID images, card numbers, bank details, or other secrets in support email.

Does this template guarantee account access?

No. It explains a next support step without promising unlock, restored access, verification success, order access, refund, or exact timing.
