User reviews
Claims to be best protection but if its so complex that we can't figure out how to use the features, then it's not going to protect much. Features like credit freeze, can do for free via credit agencies. Cumbersome! EVERY TIME I want to use Aura, or add passwords of my other accounts, I have to enter that 12-15-character Aura password. No option to scedule auto-scans. I regret getting it & won't resubscribe.

This app helped me through the most challenging times of my life. It's an amazing security app service that I highly recommend. ****** My current concern is that the option to cancel the service when it's no longer needed has been disabled through the app. I tried canceling months ago after the threat I had was diminished, but I don't have the option. I called customer service, but since I purchased through the app, I have to cancel through the app, and the option is disabled!***********

It's ok. Does what it claims, but can be cumbersome to use. Unable to access from my app, just spools and never allows me to log on. Have to open the website to access from my phone, which is annoying. I appreciate the vault and use it regularly. *Update* was able to uninstall and reinstall app for access.
