Vouch For Me Now

A code word that changes every 30 seconds.

Scammers can now copy a voice from a few seconds of audio. This page gives you a personal code that the people you trust can check, so on a call you can prove you're really you — and they can prove they're really them. The secret never leaves your browser.

After everyone has scanned, check all the apps show this same number. Then close this tab.

Set it up in a minute

  1. Be together, or on a call you already trust. Don't do this over the channel you're trying to protect.
  2. Type your name and add the code to your authenticator app — on a phone, tap the button; otherwise scan the QR. Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords all work.
  3. The people who need to check it's you scan the same QR into their apps. Now they can see "Rob" ticking over on their phone.
  4. Swap roles. Generate a new code with their name on it so you can check it's them. Verification should go both ways.
  5. Close this page. The secret only exists on your phones now.

"Something feels off. Read me your code." They open the app and read their own six digits; you look at the entry with their name in your app. Match? It's them. If they stall, make excuses, or get it wrong — hang up and call back on a number you know. And if they're not sure it's you, read them yours.
