How does Life Lock differ from credit monitoring?
LifeLock’s procedure ‘locks the door’ to your credit and identity before it’s stolen. Credit monitoring will send you an alert after a new account has been opened. This monitoring service has no way of knowing if it’s you or someone pretending to be you. It does nothing to stop a thief from opening an unauthorized account. Credit monitoring services also don’t give you any help if you should become an identity theft victim. LifeLock has the $1 million total service guarantee.
