Practice only. Nothing is sent.
Why not just ask them to text me?
A text from a number you already know can be a useful check. Nod adds a reply to a specific question, approved with the passkey you connected with in person.
What if their phone is broken?
They need access to their existing Nod passkey to answer. Without it, Nod cannot confirm them. Pause and reach them another way you already trust. No reply does not prove a scam.
Do I need to share a security code?
No. Open the request in Nod and answer the displayed question. Never send someone your phone’s unlock code, passkey, or a login code.
