Cyber Safety Worksheet: OTP and PIN Safety

Cyber safety lesson 4: Never share an OTP or PIN · Set 981 · 40 questions

Stay safe (Nobody asks for an OTP): Never read out, type into a link or send an OTP or PIN to anyone — caller, friend or “customer care”. An OTP you did not ask for means someone may be trying to get in: ignore it and tell a parent. Keep PINs in your memory, cover the keypad and lock your phone screen.
