There are few things more disconcerting than knowing someone is attempting to do something with one of my domain names without permission. That’s how I feel when I receive an unexpected email from GoDaddy with the subject, “Here’s your one-time-use support PIN.”
Someone (privately) on X mentioned this feeling when receiving this email, and I can relate. I receive these emails once or twice a year. From what I understand, these emails are generated when someone calls GoDaddy support about a particular domain name and can’t get access to the account / domain name management. GoDaddy will send a pin code to the email address on file. I have been told it’s generally people who call in and are mistaken about a domain name they think they own which I actually own. Perhaps they have a different extension or previously owned the domain name.
