How does ID Vault work?

ID Vault is the only product built from the ground up to protect you from online identity theft when you bank, shop and invest online. Safeguard all of your online finances in 3 simple steps:

  1. Add the online accounts you want to protect to ID Vault just once, then,
  2. Choose the online account you want to sign in to, and
  3. Enter your ID Vault PIN to unlock your username and password, and ID Vault automatically signs you in to your account safely and securely.

It's that easy to protect yourself against online identity theft. With ID Vault, you can bank, shop and invest online with confidence.

Built on Trust
Because the risk of identity theft and online crime is greatest while signing in to financial accounts (banks, credit unions, brokerages), ID Vault maintains a "Trusted Network" of more than 8,500 financial institutions to prevent you from signing in to fraudulent sites. For added protection against online identity theft, each time you sign in to an online financial account ID Vault checks the site against the "Trusted Network" to ensure you are signing into a valid site, and not an imposter. ID Vault simply won't allow you to unknowingly sign in to a fake site designed to steal your identity and your assets.

ID Vault Secure ViewTM
Standard Web browsers suffer from security vulnerabilities that hackers and cybercriminals are happy to exploit. In fact, most malicious software is installed on consumers' PC's via their Web browser, without the user ever knowing. Just clicking on the wrong pop-up ad or link on a search result page can install software on your PC that captures your keystrokes as you type in usernames and passwords and sends the information back to the criminal so he can sign in to your accounts and wipe them out.

To prevent this type of online identity theft, ID Vault uses a private, secure browser, ID Vault Secure ViewTM, when you sign in to your financial accounts. This secure browser simply will not allow any malicious software to be installed via the browser. ID Vault Secure View protects you against spyware and other Web browser-based threats when you conduct financial transactions online, ensuring that you don't fall prey to threats that exploit security vulnerabilities in typical web browsers.
