Preventing identity theft starts with protecting the personal information criminals can use to access your accounts or open new ones in your name. Create a strong, unique password for every account, especially your email, banking and shopping accounts, and consider a password manager to help generate and securely store your login credentials. Enable multifactor authentication wherever available; an authenticator app or security key can provide stronger protection than text-message verification. Keep your computer, smartphone, browser and security software updated to address known vulnerabilities, and enable automatic updates for added convenience. Phishing prevention is another important part of online identity protection: be cautious of unexpected messages that pressure you to click a link, download an attachment or confirm sensitive information. Instead, open the company’s official app or type its website address directly into your browser. If someone contacts you claiming to represent your bank or a government agency, verify the request independently using a trusted phone number before sharing any personal information. Never share passwords or sign-in verification codes with someone who contacts you unexpectedly. Protecting your financial records and physical documents adds another layer to your identity theft prevention strategy. Review bank and credit card transactions regularly, turn on account alerts and check your credit reports through AnnualCreditReport.com, the federally authorized source for free credit reports. A credit freeze with each of the three nationwide credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian and TransUnion—can help prevent someone from opening new credit accounts in your name. Freezes are free to place and lift, but they do not stop fraudulent charges on existing accounts, so ongoing monitoring still matters. Store Social Security cards, tax records and other sensitive documents securely, and shred paperwork containing personal or financial information before disposal. Limit the personal details you share on social media, review app permissions and avoid saving payment information on shared devices. Before selling, recycling or trading in electronics, back up the information you need, sign out of your accounts and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for securely erasing the device. If you suspect identity theft, contact the affected financial institutions promptly and visit IdentityTheft.gov for reporting steps and a personalized recovery plan.

FAQ

Password managers commonly offer an encrypted vault for login details, password generation, autofill, and syncing across compatible devices. Some also store passkeys and flag reused passwords. Features and device compatibility vary by service.

Multifactor authentication requires more than one type of verification when signing in, such as a password plus a code from an authenticator app or a physical security key. Available methods depend on the account provider.

Identity monitoring looks for certain uses or appearances of personal information, such as a Social Security number appearing in monitored data sources. Credit monitoring tracks changes to credit reports, such as new accounts or credit inquiries. The information monitored and alerts provided vary by service.

A credit freeze restricts access to your credit report, and you generally need to lift it when applying for new credit. A fraud alert tells lenders to take additional steps to verify your identity. You must request a freeze with each of the three nationwide credit bureaus separately; placing a fraud alert with one bureau prompts it to notify the other two.

Documents commonly shredded after their required retention period include bank statements, credit card statements, medical paperwork, and records containing account numbers or Social Security numbers. Keep original documents and any records still needed for taxes, legal matters, warranties, or account management.
