With the master password set, the final task the app will ask us to complete is the saving of a recovery phrase, one which takes the form of a QR code which can be saved as a PNG file in a safe place on your computer. NB – Be very careful when setting a master password for a password manager service, make sure it is long, unique (not in use else ware), makes use of both numbers and special characters and, crucially, can be remembered without the need to write it down anywhere! NB – F-Secure ID Protection is also available on a subscription basis covering use on either 5 or 10 devices or as a part of the F-Secure TOTAL subscription which is priced separately.Īs this is my first device, I have chosen the first option and am now required to set the master password for the account, this can be seen below: One of the first things to do after installation is complete is name the device and then specify whether the current device is a new device on the account or an additional device being added to an existing account (done using the options screen just seen below). Installation was relatively quick in my instance, I was asked to accept the terms and conditions and then just a few moments later the installation was complete and the getting started screen became visible. NB – The installer which is downloaded is already pre-configured for your own F-Secure account, this means, once installed, the software will already be connected to your own F-Secure account. With sign-in complete, the software installer (for Windows in my case) can be downloaded and the installation started straight afterwards. Installing ID Protection begins at the official F-Secure website where a 5-day free trial of the service can be signed-up for (note that this sign-up requires a free F-Secure account be created should you not already have one). Time to try out F-Secure ID Protection for myself and see how well it performs, let’s go! W ith this in mind, I am very hopeful that the best parts of Key have been carried over and these new ID protection features go on to help make a good product even better! T hey include, amongst other things, a specialist tool for monitoring your email addresses across any data breaches which might occur, monitoring of the dark web for any mention of your personal details plus real-time alerts and guidance in any unfortunate case s where your details might have been compromised.į-Secure have recently retired their Key password manager of late and F-Secure ID Protection with these new ID protection features is its direct replacement. It is these ID protection features which make up a big part of this new password manager offering from F-Secure. F-Secure ID Protection is, at its core, a leading password manager, but it is one which goes much further than most to also include tools for helping to protect your digital identity across both the web and the dark web alike!
