Hello

A sales company app is asking me to provide the password to my email account in order to open a customer account.

That seems abnormal to me.

Can someone advise me?

Thank you

    Hello,

    10000% scam!

    Even the provider of an email account will never(*) ask for a user's password.... let alone a third-party company!....

    In short, it's a big trick.... just walk away if you don't want to get ripped off!

    (*) except, of course, in the dedicated login area on the website of the said email service.

    My mission is to kill time and for theirs to kill me in turn.

    Hello

    If you don't understand, ask, great reaction

    To create an account on a site, it asks for your email address to communicate with you

    No one asks you for the password of your messaging service

    The password that you need to create will be used exclusively for this site
    in order to identify you to access your account
