What it is
IDX Identity Protection is a paid service for individuals and families, available on the web and through a browser extension. CyberScan searches the internet and dark web for compromised personal information and alerts users when it finds a match. Monitoring includes Social Security number traces and account-takeover detection; SocialSentry scans social networks for privacy risks, fraud, impersonation, account takeover, and inappropriate content. ForgetMe checks more than 100 data-broker websites and automatically requests deletion of unauthorized profiles. A password manager supports browser-based password additions, compromise checks, and access across devices. Plans describe an encrypted VPN and private search supplied by DuckDuckGo. Identity Essentials includes single-bureau credit monitoring; IDX Complete includes tri-bureau monitoring and SocialSentry. Plan descriptions include fully managed recovery and up to $1 million in identity-theft insurance for eligible expenses, which must be reported within 90 days. Individual monthly prices are $9.95 a month for Essentials and $32.90 a month for Complete; family monthly pricing is $19.95 a month.
