F‑Secure ID Protection

Log in with your My F‑Secure credentials or create a new account. Click Install ID Protection and follow the instructions. If you are new to ID Protection, you need to create a master password that you need for future logins and to access all your stored data. Remember to store it safely.

When you first installed ID Protection, you were prompted to create a recovery QR code that can be used to restore your master password. It is a unique and personal code that is the only way of regaining access to the app, if you have forgotten it. For your security, F‑Secure cannot restore any master passwords, as this would mean accessing your master password, which could be considered a security risk.

If you haven’t created a master password recovery code, there is unfortunately no way to get access to the app.

If you have a My F‑Secure account, log in to manage your subscription. Click the Buy now button on the top right corner and add ID Protection to your subscription.

ID Protection can monitor your social security number, credit card number, phone number, bank account number (IBAN), passport number, driving license number and username/game tag.

With an F‑Secure ID Protection subscription (and F‑Secure Total subscription), when you create your My F‑Secure account, the email address that you use for the account is automatically added to monitoring. F‑Secure sends a confirmation email to the address in question, and you need to confirm the email address before you can access the detailed information, where applicable, about breaches and leaked data.

You can start monitoring your other email addresses either through your My F‑Secure or through the F‑Secure ID Protection app. The other types of personal information can be added for monitoring in My F‑Secure. My F‑Secure can be accessed through the desktop apps or the My F‑Secure login page.

If you have a 5-device subscription you can monitor up to 5 of each type of personal information. This means 5 email addresses, 5 credit card numbers, 5 usernames, etc. The same applies if you have a 10-device subscription. You can monitor up to 10 of each type of personal information.

F‑Secure ID Protection helps keep your online identity safe. The advanced identity theft protection allows you to:

• Create strong and unique passwords.
• Monitor personal information such as usernames, credit card numbers and email addresses on any device.
• Manage your passwords securely. No need to remember the login information for every account.
• Receive immediate notifications of possible online threats and expert guidance to tackle them.
• Prevent data breaches and avoid becoming a victim of identity theft.

Your online identity refers to all the information online that can be connected to you. Online identity can be described as your digital footprint. It includes your email, home address, phone number, date of birth, financial details, passwords, and even your browsing habits.

Since all your information and your accounts are appealing to cyber criminals; account takeovers, monetary loss and even identity theft are real threats. Cyber criminals steal their victim’s information and sell it online or use the stolen data for blackmail. If you suspect that your personal details have been stolen, you can always turn to F‑Secure ID Protection and its Identity Theft Help service.

Data breach monitoring uses detection tools to identify if, when and where your online information may be breached or leaked. This includes monitoring the deep and dark web for signs of a data breach. The detection tools recognize possible identity threats in your network and then notify both you and security experts of the fraudulent activity. F‑Secure ID Protection and its data breach monitoring tools work 24/7 to ensure your safety online at all times.

One serious threat to your privacy and personal information on the internet is identity fraud. You can avoid becoming a victim using F‑Secure ID Protection. The real-time notification system keeps you on track of unusual activity and helps you avoid identity fraud before real damage gets done.

Another way of protecting your online identity and internet security is using strong passwords. This means every password you use is long enough and contains letters, numbers and special characters. To prevent your accounts and sensitive data from getting into the wrong hands, do not use the same password in more than one place. To further improve your internet security, make sure to use two-factor authentication whenever logging in.

Strong passwords do not help if you give your password and login credentials away. Make sure to never give your account information away to anyone, even if the request is coming from a seemingly reliable source. In a worst-case scenario, you can become a victim of identity theft.

Even great care is not always enough to avoid your personal data from being compromised. That is why you need reliable online identity protection software to back you up. With F‑Secure ID Protection staying safe online is easy with additional security features, such as dark web monitoring, a password manager and data breach alerts.
