Shopify Security Code Not Working Email Templates for safer verification replies
Use these self-serve email templates when a shopper says a security code, two-factor code, one-time code, or verification code is expired, missing, or not accepted. The wording stays strict about safety: it never asks customers to email codes and it avoids promises about verification success, account unlocks, restored access, refunds, or exact timing.
What this cluster helps with
Code not accepted
Ask for visible error text without requesting the code.

Safety boundary
Do not ask customers to send security codes, one-time codes, two-factor codes, backup codes, passwords, private account links, full card numbers, bank details, government ID images, or remote-access invitations. These pages are copy examples only and are not security, legal, privacy, platform, delivery, or refund advice.
