Our employees can choose to verify themselves using their email address or a digital employee ID badge in their Microsoft Authenticator app.
Studio Countdown uses these email domains: @studiocountdown.com, @team.cntdwn.xyz, @groups.cntdwn.xyz, @cntdwn.xyz, and @ctcanimated.com. Please note that our employees will never ask for the login credentials to your Studio Countdown Insiders or Discord account.
To verify the legitimacy of someone who claims to be a Studio Countdown employee/staff member, you can use Microsoft Entra or any identity verification solution that supports Microsoft Verified ID for employee verification. We are registered in the Microsoft Verified ID network, and we are searchable as team.cntdwn.xyz. Our issuer name is Studio Countdown. When requesting a verification, make sure the linked domain name exactly matches team.cntdwn.xyz.
If you are a Studio Countdown employee, you can use Microsoft Authenticator to verify your identity and workplace anywhere Microsoft Verified ID is accepted. For more info on how to get your digital employee ID badge, visit the Helpdesk page (requires login). You can also use your Studio Countdown email account when sending emails to prove your credibility.
