Updated
When considering identity theft protection, compare what each service monitors and what support it lists if identity theft occurs. The ranked entries begin with Allstate Identity Protection, pocketOne idGuard and Norton LifeLock. Look at account takeover, bank account, dark-web and SSN monitoring, alongside identity restoration and identity-theft insurance. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing provide additional comparison points.
