A customer may want to know which devices are connected to their account, why an unknown phone appears, or how to disconnect an old device. These questions quickly touch on security and trust.
The chatbot must explain how to check associated devices, secure the account, recognize a legitimate login, and transfer suspicious cases. It must avoid giving access to sensitive information without verification.
This guide shows how to handle questions about devices connected to the account with clarity and caution.
Summary
Why do connected devices worry customers?
When a customer sees a device they do not recognize, they may think of a hack, an old forgotten phone, or a family member who is still logged in. The response must therefore be reassuring, yet precise.
The chatbot must help distinguish a normal connection from a risk signal. It must not downplay a security alert, nor ask the customer to share a password.
An unknown device is not always fraud, but it deserves a quick and simple check.

What information should be checked?
The bot can check the device type, browser, last login date, approximate location if available, recent usage, and logout options.
It must also ask if the customer has changed their phone, used a shared computer, installed an application, or lent their account. These details help prevent unnecessary escalation.
How do you guide the logout process?
If the feature exists, the chatbot can explain how to disconnect a specific device or all devices. It must also recommend changing the password if the customer does not recognize the access.
The response must specify that some sessions may remain active for a few minutes or require a new login depending on the application.
How to manage an unknown device?
When faced with an unknown device, the bot must suggest a short procedure: check the details, disconnect the device, change the password, and enable additional security if available.
If an order, payment, or data modification has occurred since this access, the chatbot must transfer to security support.
How do we talk about account sharing?
Some customers share an account with a relative, a team, or a family device. The bot must explain the risks without judgment: access to orders, addresses, payment methods, or preferences.
It can recommend separate accounts or adapted permissions when the service offers them.
Which flow to follow?
The flow must protect the account without alarming the customer.
Identify the device concerned, the account, the date, the channel, and the customer's doubt.
Verify if the access corresponds to recent usage, an old device, or a shared device.
Explain how to disconnect the device or all sessions if the function exists.
Recommend a password change and enhanced security in case of doubt.
Transfer suspicious access, unknown orders, payments, modified data, or blocked accounts.
Which messages should be used?
To reassure: "An unknown device may come from an old phone or a shared browser, but we will check it carefully."
For security: "Never share your password or a verification code in the chat."
For transfer: "As a sensitive action seems linked to this access, I am transferring the file to support with the information already gathered."
When to transfer?
Transfer is necessary if the client does not recognize the device, if an order or payment is suspicious, if personal data has been modified, if the account is blocked, or if logging out does not work.
The bot must transmit the account, device, date, suspicious action, steps already attempted, and urgency level.
Which KPIs should be monitored?
Track reported unknown devices, successful logouts, post-alert password changes, blocked accounts, security tickets, and complaints related to unrecognized actions.
These indicators show whether the device management interface is clear and reassuring.
Which mistakes should be avoided?
Avoid downplaying an unknown device, asking for sensitive information, promising immediate deletion without confirmation, or leaving a worried customer without a path to secure their account.
The chatbot must help the customer regain control of their account.
How can Qstomy help?
Qstomy can connect the chatbot to customer accounts, associated devices, privacy rules, catalogs, consignment statuses, consumables, contextual help messages, and support procedures to answer clearly, then transfer sensitive cases with an actionable summary.
The chatbot helps the customer move forward without inventing a device status, data usage, consignment availability, consumable compatibility, or display rule that still needs to be confirmed by a reliable source.
