Naming the Account: Identifiers by Kind of Service
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
A provider searches its systems for an exact value: a username, a number, an ID. If your request names the account in a way the provider cannot search, nothing comes back. If it names the wrong account, a stranger's data may come back.
Focus: name the account the provider's way, as text, with the date, time and time zone you saw it.
Learning objectives
- Tell a username from a display name, and say which one a provider can search.
- Write a phone number, a numeric ID, a web address and an IP address in a form a provider accepts.
- Capture an identifier as text, with the date, time and time zone.
- Explain why a screenshot alone is weak.
- Refuse to link two identifiers on a guess.
