📘 Validate My Call — Client & Vendor Guide
Validate My Call (validate.codes) is a simple and secure way to verify your identity during phone-based support calls with your IT provider or MSP. You’ll set up a 6-digit rotating security code using an authenticator app, and you provide this code to the technician anytime you request sensitive support.
👤 Step 1 — Create Your Account
To get started:
- Visit the signup link your MSP provided.
- Enter your contact information:
- Name
- Company Name
- Company ID (optional)
- Email Address
- Phone Number
- Submit and continue to MFA setup.
🔑 Step 2 — Logging In
Log in using your email/username and password. *Note: Validate My Call MFA is for verifying your identity on calls — it does not replace your WordPress login MFA unless your MSP configures that separately.*
📲 Step 3 — Set Up Your Authenticator App
After saving your contact details:
- A QR code appears for setup.
- Open Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy.
- Tap “Add Account” → “Scan QR Code”.
- You’ll see a new entry labeled Validate My Call.
- Enter the 6-digit code shown in your app to confirm setup.
📞 Step 4 — Using Your Code on Support Calls
Whenever you request sensitive support:
- The technician will ask for your Validate My Call code.
- Open your authenticator app.
- Read the current 6-digit code (changes every 30 seconds).
- Once the code passes validation, support can proceed.
♻️ Step 5 — Update or Reset Your MFA
If you get a new phone, reset your device, or lose access, your MSP can reset your MFA. This requires going through the setup steps again.
