About this app

Identity Defender is an identity protection and identity monitoring app from the makers of ExpressVPN. It helps you detect identity theft early with powerful dark web monitoring, credit monitoring, and data removal tools designed to reduce the exposure of your personal information online.

With Identity Defender, you can monitor your identity across the dark web, financial accounts, public records, court records, property records, and more. Stay ahead of identity theft with real-time ID alerts when suspicious activity is linked to your personal details.

This identity protection app includes:
- Receive identity alerts for suspicious activity linked to your personal details
- Monitor your credit score, activities, and access detailed credit reports
- Use dark web monitoring to check if your data appears on the dark web
- Find and remove personal information from data brokers

Very nice. It keeps on top of monitoring pretty much everything. Please add a passcode or fingerprint unlock option. If someone borrows your phone, there is no way to keep them from opening the app.

I wish I could "hide" but not really hiding it's more of putting it away so you don't need to see it, stuff that you're not subscribed to so you can see only what you already have like removing data part and whatever else so it can look cleaner

This is required to be a separate app from ExpressVPN why? It's for money, right? Because the services work just fine under the original app... Guess what? ish don't work when the VPN IT COMES WITH IS ON. Cool.
