Do You Need to Give Your Password to Buy Likes or Followers?

6 Aug 2026 · 3 min read

In short

No legitimate social-proof service needs your password. Likes go to a public post link, followers go to a public username. If someone asks you to log in, that is a phishing attempt wearing a delivery service as a costume.

Why a password is never needed

This is worth stating plainly because so many people assume it is part of the process: delivering likes, followers or views does not require access to your account.

Everything a delivery service touches is already public. A like is placed on a post that anyone can open. A follow comes from another account to yours. A view is a play on a public video. None of that involves signing in as you.

How often a password is required

What a password request actually means

It is credential theft

Any service asking for your password — or presenting a "login to continue" screen on its own domain — is collecting credentials. What follows is usually account takeover, spam sent to your followers, or a resale of the account. There is no delivery method that requires this, so there is no legitimate reason to ask.

The same applies to "verification codes". Nobody needs your two-factor code to send likes to a post. A request for one is an attempt to get past security you have already switched on.

The only two things a real service asks for

You are ordering	What you provide	Why
Likes on a post	The post link	Delivery targets that specific post
Views on a video	The video link	Same — it is a public URL
Followers	Your username only	Follows are sent to the profile
Page likes	The page URL	Public business page

BuzzGrowth never asks for a password for any service, and there is no account required before ordering — one is created after payment purely so the order can be tracked.

One thing to check on your side

Before you order

Your account or post must be public. Delivery cannot reach a private profile.
Copy the link directly from the app rather than typing it — mistyped links are the most common cause of a failed order.
Do not change your username mid-delivery; the order is pointed at the old one.
If a seller asks for a password or 2FA code at any point, close the tab.

Common questions

Why do some sites ask for a password then?

Because they are harvesting credentials. There is no delivery mechanism that needs one, so the request itself is the warning sign.

Is it safe to give my username?

Yes. Your username is public — anyone can see it on your profile. It is not a credential.

What if I already gave a password out?

Change it immediately, revoke third-party app access in your security settings, and turn on two-factor authentication if it is not already on.

Do I need an account to order?

On BuzzGrowth, no — checkout works as a guest and an account is created afterwards so you can follow the order.

Username or link. Never a password.

Guest checkout, no account needed, and nothing that touches your login.
