⚠️ Mastodon and Misskey will never ask you to verify your ID.

This is a scam attempting to collect personal information and, in some cases, hijack accounts by tricking you into clicking malicious links.

⚠️ However, Mastodon and Misskey do offer an option in your account settings to enable two-step verification for logins.

For your own security and to help prevent brute-force attacks, it’s strongly recommended that you enable this feature on your account.
