It’s too bad that not many identity theft protection apps include a VPN with the service, and some offer it only as an add-on with a monthly fee, or not at all.

By including Norton Secure VPN (opens in new tab) at the Select plan level, you can be more confident about typing in all of your credit cards and bank info. Realize also that you really should use a VPN when you are using any identity theft protection app. You can drill down to another area to see your personally identifiable information. In the privacy section, for example, you can quickly scan through the options and enable features for protecting credit cards and your phone. The LifeLock dashboard presents all of the features and options in a clear and appealing way, but that ubiquitous yellow color is always there reminding you that this is a serious topic. Norton shows its experience with its familiar yellow interface, which I’m sure they have copyrighted somehow, and it forms the initial impression with a color that denotes warning and caution, as though you are in a construction zone or crossing police tape. If you've used Norton Antivirus before, you'll be right at home with Norton LifeLock's user interface (Image credit: Norton LifeLock) Interface
