No. OpenTech Support will never ask for your password or MFA codes. If anyone asks, treat it as suspicious and contact us using the site contact form.
I clicked a link. What should I do first?
- Close the page and stop interacting with the sender.
- If you entered credentials, change your email password immediately.
- Enable MFA (or reset MFA if you approved an unexpected prompt).
- Contact OpenTech so we can review activity and advise containment steps.
How do I verify a message is really from OpenTech?
If something feels urgent or unusual, do not reply directly. Start a fresh contact request through the website and reference the message you received.
We can harden Microsoft 365, enforce MFA and conditional access, and reduce phishing risk through layered security controls, policy, and user training.
