Account-security email template

Security code account locked template for Shopify merchants

A safe message when security-code failures lead to a locked or blocked account message. It keeps the response safe and practical: ask for store-side lookup details and visible error text, never ask for codes, and do not promise verification success, account unlock, restored access, resend, refund, or exact timing.

A safe message when security-code failures lead to a locked or blocked account message.

Keep these guardrails

  • Do not promise unlock
  • Avoid requesting codes or secrets
  • Keep account lock handling process-based

Do not collect secrets

Never ask for security codes, one-time codes, two-factor codes, backup codes, passwords, private account links, full card numbers, bank details, government ID images, private payment details, or remote-access invitations in ordinary support email.

Template copy

We can check the store-side account record connected to the locked-account message and the verification issue. Please send the account email and the exact visible error text. Do not send passwords, one-time codes, backup codes, private links, card details, or bank information. We will reply with the next support option available through the store process.

Adapt it safely

  • Never ask customers to paste verification, security, or backup codes.
  • Replace verification promises with one process-based support step.
  • Ask for visible error text instead of screenshots containing secrets.
  • Use your own store policy before describing any account-support process.
