P.S. Dee, do you have to use a phone/app in order to receive stuff from CreditKarma? Or can us low-tech folks do it the "old-fashioned" way: via email?
I don't even know if there's an app for that.
If there were, we still wouldn't use it.
We signed up on our computers years ago, and we've always accessed it via our computers. We get emails, but then we never access the site through email. We always open a new window and type in "Creditkarma.com." Entering sites through email is just too risky.
As far as our existing accounts in BankOfAmerica goes, hubs gets warnings through email on his phone; but, again, we only access those accounts through our computers and only by typing in the address into a new window. (
When someone tried to use our CC earlier this year, he called me as soon as he got the email-alert, and I signed into the account on my computer to start the fraud process.)
We both have Firefox set up for any type of business use. We have it set where as soon as we close it, it deletes all Internet history. We never check into more than one account at a time in it. Open Firefox, do something in
only one site, close it.
