About Safewords.io

AI can now clone any voice from just 3 seconds of audio. Video deepfakes are increasingly indistinguishable from reality. Scammers are using these tools to impersonate family members, coworkers, friends — anyone you trust — targeting the relationships most likely to trigger action without verification.

The FBI, FTC, and AARP all recommend the same defense: establish a secret verification word — a safeword that only your trusted circle knows, shared in person, never digitally.

But no product existed to make this easy. That's why we built Safewords.io.

What We Provide

• Safeword Generator — Cryptographically random, phone-safe phrases your group can actually remember
• Protocol Builder — A step-by-step wizard to define when and how to use your safeword, with a printable security card
• Scenario Drills — Interactive practice scenarios based on real scam patterns — from family fraud to workplace BEC to dating safety
• Educational Content — Articles explaining the threat landscape in plain language

Our Principles

• Zero data collection. Everything runs in your browser. We don't store, track, or transmit anything. Your safeword never leaves your device.
• No accounts. No signup, no email, no login. Just tools that work.
• Accessible by design. Built for non-technical users, elderly adults, and anyone who needs protection — not just tech-savvy early adopters.
• Free. Scam protection shouldn't have a paywall.

The Threat Is Real

In 2023 alone, Americans lost $2.7 billion to impersonation scams according to the FBI's IC3 report. Business email compromise has stolen $55.5 billion globally. Deepfake incidents have surged 700% since 2023. Voice cloning services are available for as little as $5 per month. The barrier to creating convincing fake calls is essentially zero.

A safeword takes 5 minutes to set up and can save your family, your team, or your business thousands of dollars — and immeasurable distress.
