Hello,

This is the bottom line difference:

What is the difference between Bitdefender Identity Theft Protection and Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection?

Bitdefender Identity Theft Protection and Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection are not identical. Although some of their functions overlap, such as Dark Web and Social Media monitoring, they target different things. Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection monitors your digital footprint to prevent data breaches and improve your online privacy. On the other hand, Bitdefender Identity Theft Protection focuses on credit monitoring to help you avoid becoming a credit fraud and identity theft victim.

I forget, is it still just in using one SS number, or has BD allowed more than one with Identity Theft Protection?

TIA :)

@Scott

Hey. :)

I don't live in the USA and i'm using Digital Identity Protection.

But, as far as i know, only one SS number (one account) can be used.

Flexx

Since I have a Bitdefender Ultimate Security Plus subscription, I was able to check the required information. You can only use one SSN per account.

Thank you @Flexx and @Gjoksi as I remember at one time that being a concern for some of the members inquiring about it, i.e. no option for a husband and and wife to be on the same subscription, but that they would each need to have separate accounts for their separate SS numbers.
