Account-security email template

Security code record not found template for Shopify merchants

A careful response when support cannot immediately locate the account tied to a code issue. 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.

Use this when

A careful response when support cannot immediately locate the account tied to a code issue.

Keep these guardrails

  • Do not say the account does not exist as a final conclusion
  • Ask for one additional safe lookup detail
  • Avoid credentials and payment data

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 could not locate a matching account record from the first details provided, but we can check again with another safe lookup detail. Please send the checkout email or an order number if you have one. Do not send security codes, passwords, backup codes, private links, full card numbers, or bank details. After the additional check, we will reply with the support option available from the record.

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.
