TrustedPause

For the person who helps

Second family authentication

TrustedPause texts the family when a parent starts to enter a Social Security number, bank account, card, or password. Each Approver opts in on the setup form. These are approval and account texts, not marketing. The first yes or no wins. The numbers never come to you, and they are not stored.

Up to 2 seniors

$99

per year

  • Up to 2 seniors, each on their own computer.
  • Up to 3 Approver phones. The first yes or no wins.
  • Texts the family, not a call center.
  • One shared list of trusted sites.
  • Passwords on sites you trust can stay quiet.
  • Money, ID, cards, and crypto phrases always ask.

How it works

  1. 01

    You join.

    Create an account and pay $99 for the year. Add your phone and check the box to agree to approval texts. You are the first Approver.

  2. 02

    You add the household.

    Add up to two seniors. Each gets a pair code for Chrome or Edge on their computer. Invite up to three Approver phones in all, including yours. Each Approver agrees to texts on the form. One trusted-site list is shared.

  3. 03

    A sensitive box waits.

    A Social Security number, bank account, card, crypto phrase, or a password on a new site freezes before the letters land.

  4. 04

    The family gets a text.

    Every active Approver gets the same text: which senior, the website, and the kind of field. Never what they typed. The first yes or no wins. Others see that it is already resolved. No answer in 2 minutes means it stays blocked.

What you see. What we keep.

You see

Which senior, the website name, and whether it was a Social Security number, bank account, credit card, password, or crypto recovery phrase.

We do not keep

The numbers or words they typed. Those stay on their computer. If you say no, or if two minutes pass, the box is cleared and stays blocked. We do keep the mobile number you enter, and the time you agreed to texts.

Trusted websites are for passwords only. A bank site you trust still asks before a Social Security number, account number, card, or recovery phrase.
