ID Monitoring

How do I add items for ID monitoring

The first item you add for monitoring must be your email address. Only after having added the email address for monitoringcan, you add other items, such as usernames and credit card numbers for monitoring. This address will also be the emailaddress to which TDS Security Suite sends notifications if your information appears in a data breach.

Note: When you create your TDS Security Suite account, the email address that you use for the account is automatically added for monitoring. TDS Security Suite sends a confirmation email to the address in question, and you need to confirm the email address before you can access the detailed information about the breaches and leaked data if any.

To add more items for monitoring:

1. Open the TDS Security Suite app.
2. On the main view, select ID Monitoring.
3. In the ID Monitoring view, select Monitored Items.
   • The Monitored Items view opens
4. Select + Add item.
   
   • The Add new dialog opens, listing all the available item types to choose.
   • Note: that if you have not yet added any email address for monitoring, the product asks you first to add an email address for monitoring. Only after that can you add other types of items for monitoring.
5. Select the type of item you want to add for monitoring.
   • The The New Monitored Item view opens.
6. Enter the requested information and select Add.
   • Monitoring immediately starts looking for breaches with your personal data and shows you the result of the search.
   • Note: that to be able to see more detailed information about your leaked data, if any, and the recommended actions, make sure that you have confirmed your contact email address.
7. If you have not yet confirmed your email address, open the confirmation email, and select the link to confirm that this is your email address.
8. To see the details of your exposed personal information and what you should do, select the specific breach listed in the ID Monitoring view.

Important: If your information has been exposed in a data breach, we urge you to execute the recommended actions as soon as possible to eliminate the risk of your information being misused.
