You could have asked this on UIX.StackExchange - here nobody seems to ask the question "Why are they telling you their password ?". I think trying to educate people with audio messages or warnings won't cut the deal. Most people know they shouldn't tell their password anyone without a good reason.

Should You or Shouldnt You Repair Your Kids Phone

You should ask users why they need to clarify their password and you will probably find a reason in communication with the user / in the user interface which leads to so many people feeling the need to clarify their password via phone.

What if you started each conversation by asking a customer for the answer to some pass-phrase that only he or she should know? A similar option has been used as an extra measure for a long time at a company I used to work for, where security is relatively high, and I have a hunch it just may help sidestep problems like yours.

What would this achieve?
Two things, I would hope: Firstly, it should improve your security, even if only marginally. The information may be stored in plain text, with everyone working at the help desk having access, and it would probably be the case that many of the answers would be easily guessed, especially if an attacker did a little research before calling you. Even so, this should still make it just a little more difficult to impersonate one of your customers over the phone without triggering any suspicion.

Secondly, and more importantly for your particular problem, this should make it clear to the caller that you have in fact identified them, and are looking at their customer data right now. The idea here is that you actually allow your customer to be helpful. That is, after all, probably why they are so eager to give you their passwords, right?

You can and should keep trying to educate your users about issues like this, but there will always be users who are ignorant of this, or who do not take it seriously. Whenever that happens, make sure to politely inform your users once again about it, and tell them you have a policy that requires them to reset their password now that it has been revealed.

Personally, if someone is already unaware that they should not tell the helpdesk their password, then reactively resetting their password would most likely make them angry - even if it's good practice to ensure that only they know their password. If it's extremely sensitive information, it's a must. Otherwise, I think having some kind of a recording before a call is picked up might help - "Your call may be recorded for quality assurance purposes. Remember to never reveal your password to anyone - including the Help Desk."

People are used to trusting the people that they ask for help, else they would not ask them... Doctors, therapists, auto repair, appliance service, etc. For example, yesterday I took my car in to the shop for a repair. It would be absurd if they said, "Do NOT under any circumstances give any of our staff (or any other person) the key to your car!" Inside my car were the usual documents which show my name and address (car registration paper, insurance documentation) and I also have a key to my apartment hidden inside the car as well (in case I ever lock myself out somehow, and there is a spare car key in my wallet). It is possible that bad people work at the car shop, but unlikely.

It is becoming more and more popular for people to try and fix their own phones. It may be a biased opinion, but this is a bad idea. Here is why. When you are fixing your phone there is 1 good outcome, you fix your phone. There are many bad outcomes where you can damage your phone beyond repair.

1. Watch a YouTube video on how to fix your phone
-The phone they are repairing has already been opened and repaired, multiple times. This makes it much easier to repair.
-The person fixing the phone has a lot of experience fixing them, making it much easier for them to fix it.

If you had two base stations that were flashing blue (Trying to connect to your network) you had other problems. Do your replacement bases have a solid blue light that stays on all the time? Did you call support on the phone and ask them how to connect your cams to the new bases? I have no idea what will happen now if you delete the cams from the app. You really need to talk to WYZE on the phone about deleting cams that are not online. Did you set the new bases up with the same network names and passwords on the 2.4 network?
I still have my original base which was working just fine. WYZE sent me another base to test for an issue unrelated to the original base. I deleted old base and cams online, set up new one and it has been working for 19 months.

Once your phone reaches temperatures over 95 degrees, it will start to shut down. Fortunately, some phones, like the iPhone, come with built-in sensors that will notify you if your phone is overheating.

Another reason you should never leave your phone in the sun is that it can cause internal damage beyond repair. Exposure to excessive heat can cause a number of issues like data loss, motherboard failure, and even internal corruption to your files.
