    Great points! I’d say never provide your password or confirmation code ever on the phone. They shouldn’t have you password stored anyway. Only a salted hash of it.

        Some places will use a password or code they send to you in order to ID you. My ISP will use my password to ID me. The bank will sms me a code for some interactions. That’s why the disclaimer on them initiating contact.
