Set up Financial Monitoring
Use financial monitoring alerts to get notified of changes to your credit profile. This can include new inquiries, account updates, and payday loans.
When prompted, turn alerts ON to be notified when a change is detected.
Credit Profile
To set up your Credit Profile, enter your personal details. You may be asked questions to confirm your identity. Your information is only used to verify you and get your credit data, and it stays private.
After setup and verification, you can choose what personal info you want monitored on the dark web.
Payday loans
A payday loan is a short‑term, high‑interest loan meant to cover cash needs until your next paycheck. Stay informed about loans taken out that may be tied to your identity details.
An alert will show the lenders’ name, merchant details, and loan status. If the activity isn’t yours, follow the app steps and then choose to keep or delete the alert.
Internet
You can enable network protection options to minimize your risk of a digital breach on your phone. From the app home screen, tap Internet.
Wi-Fi Security
Make sure you enable Wi-Fi® security to get alerts when a threat is detected on a Wi-Fi network you joined.
- Turn Auto-connect VPN ON to encrypt your data when you connect to public Wi-Fi or another unsecured network. A VPN is your own virtual private network and helps protect your personal info. If you have another VPN running, the auto-connect won’t work.
- Turn Wi-Fi alerts ON to let you know whether you’re at risk or safe on public Wi-Fi.
Safe Browsing
Safe Browsing can warn you when you're about to visit a potentially unsafe website on a mobile browser on your smartphone. With Safe Browsing turned on, ActiveArmor will anonymously check websites you visit to make sure you’re safe and your data is never shared or saved. To use Safe Browsing:
Turn ON Safe Browsing in the ActiveArmor app. FYI: Safe Browsing may pause if another VPN or DNS profile is active on your device. You can check your device settings and the ActiveArmor app status to restart protection.1, 2
