    LifeLock services

    LifeLock is considered to be an industry leader in providing individual and business identity theft protection. They offer three different package options, from basic monitoring to full protection and recovery of your money or identity. LifeLock is recognized by the Online Trust Honor Roll and partnered with the digital security software company Norton.

    LifeLock notifies you if your information is compromised by monitoring major data breaches, credit reporting agencies and the dark web. The company offers 24-hour assistance, and if your identity is compromised, LifeLock will assist you by providing lawyers to help litigate your case, plus reimbursement for your expenses and lost property.

    LifeLock is a membership organization where customers can choose between membership levels. If you are looking for identity theft protection for your business, you can call the company for a quote.

    LifeLock plans and pricing

    LifeLock provides identity theft and digital security protections at three membership levels: Select, Advantage, and Ultimate Plus. Each plan offers an introductory rate, with a price increase after the first year. The chart below provides an overview of LifeLock cost by plan.

     PlanFirst-year costCost after first year
    Select$9.99/month$14.99/month
    Advantage$19.99/month$24.99/month
    Ultimate Plus$29.99/month$34.99/month

    Select: Offers $25,000 in reimbursements for stolen funds and security for five electronic devices, plus the regular LifeLock benefits.

    Advantage: Offers $100,000 in reimbursements for stolen funds, security for 10 devices, bank and credit card alerts and alerts for crimes in your name.

    Ultimate Plus: Offers $1 million in reimbursements for stolen funds, security for an unlimited number of devices, bank and credit card alerts, 401(K) investment alerts, alerts for crimes in your name, and reports from all three credit bureaus.

    How does LifeLock work?

    Most of the time, LifeLock members will be able to forget they are even customers — which, according to LifeLock, is the point. As a LifeLock customer, you can rest assured your data is secure.

    Once you join, you simply make monthly payments and the company closely monitors your information. When something suspicious occurs, you are either alerted by phone, text or a notification from the LifeLock app.

    If you want to engage with the company further, they offer a credit report, an online portal to show your profile, and notifications about any data breaches that may affect your information.

    Do we recommend LifeLock?

    LifeLock has been the industry leader in identity theft protection for more than a decade. The company boasts nearly 5 million members and returned millions of dollars in assets to people who have had their identities or property stolen. Although a price tag up to $34.99 a month may not be as cheap as other companies, it does provide the broadest range of coverage with a company known to maintain a high level of service.

      My experience is that Lifelock basically reports that your data has been found on the dark web. If you are online, your information is on the dark web so there you go, no need to pay Lifelock for that information. Lifelock reported that my name appeared as the owner of a property in another state. That's all they reported, no details. The county clerk for the address listed found nothing. When I tried to contact Lifelock for an explanation to see if it is something I should be concerned about I waited on hold hearing repeatedly "Someone will be with you shortly" for 58 minutes before I hung up.

      No option to be called back, no time estimates of how long the hold will be. I tried chatting and when I finally got past the useless bot, I was told I needed a code generated on the web page. Pressing the button to generate the code didn't work so no dice. The bottom line is, your information is out there. Set alerts and monitor your financial accounts and request your free credit reports and save the money you will waste on Lifelock.

      I apparently got hacked, & my card was used for a 1 month charge on Norton LifeLock ($7.05). The why makes no sense. I can't deal with this until morning, due to my bank's CS hours. Norton also has no CS in early evening. VISA shows it was paid through Google. Google shows there was no transaction. My bank shows "pending".

        I would say that Lifelock is not worth the money. My identity was stolen and several alerts were sent to me which were not mine. I tried to call to speak with someone and there was a language barrier on the phone and they had me so confused about other alerts in which I didn't even know about that I had to hang up from frustration before garnering any information that I set out to receive. The problem was that in the midst of the fraudulent alerts I had a legitimate inquiry. But none of the dates of the alerts on file coincided with my legitimate one. Don't rely on anyone else for a job that you can do better on your own.

        My husband and I have had LifeLock for many years after my identity got stolen. I contacted them to see what they were going to do. They locked my account for whatever reason I don’t know was all paid in full. Wouldn’t talk to us. Wouldn’t help us. Basically wouldn’t do anything other than they wanted me to send them a copy of my drivers license and my Social Security card through the mail to them to unlock my account to this day. We don’t know why it was locked so we canceled and we’re just going to fight it on our own through **. They are a joke. They wouldn’t stand behind us. Somebody got us $17,000 for a PPE loan. Please don’t use them. Other ways are better and more effective to protect your credit.

        I opened the case with LifeLock support because my wife's LifeLock account that's associated with my Norton 360 Plus ultimate family account no longer works. For an identity theft it says, "Enroll now." If you click that button says, "Your subscription cannot be found." My subscription's up to date. I filed a case on 9/26 and was told I would get a call from second level customer service within 48 hours. No phone call was received. I waited 96 hours and call back. They were told that they were working on it and they would call me when they finished. I waited another 48 hours called again this time and spoke to a supervisor and I was told they would definitely call me within 24 hours. Here I sit 30 hours later and no phone call. Apparently they don't have enough technical support people. There's no way that this problem should be last in this long. Getting pretty annoyed that I keep being told when they will call back and they never call. Customer service is terrible.

        One the worst from 42.00 to 76.90 per with no warning. Will never recommend to no one. Life Lock used to be good till norkon got involved plain and simple total rip off. Never again with them. Other company out there better than life lock customer service. Doesn’t even want to hear your concern. They say whatever they want.

        My accounts were hacked, and we came very close to being scammed out of substantial sums. I contacted Life Lock to notify them of the hacking to ensure they were vigilant in identifying any further hacks. I waited for 30 min to speak with a CS representative from a call center who had a difficult time understanding me. I was told that I should monitor my bank accounts and credit cards and advised that I should have the 3 major credit bureaus put a 1 yr. fraud alert on my account. We (my husband and I) pay over $600 a year for LifeLock... I filled out a survey after the call .. Gave 1 star (0 wasn't an option).. Thought someone would reach out to me- Never happened. What are we paying for?

        I spent the past 2-hours trying to get LifeLock Ultimate. Finally gave up and am going somewhere else. I created my account with LifeLock. Tried to purchase the Ultimate package. My credit card was charged, but my account said no subscriptions purchased. LifeLock told me to call the credit card company, because my charge was denied. Called them, and was told the charge was authorized. Received the runaround from the India offices. Finally told to call them by telephone. To make a long story short...I had to call back my credit card company to get the NP number. Did so, called back, waited for 20 minutes, then hung-up. Went back into the "Chat" help and they told me someone will call me up in 5-15 minutes. A few minutes later I get a text telling me someone will call me in 48-hours.

        Tried to purchase the subscription again, no luck. Now I have two (2) credit card charges with no subscription. They told me both charges would be reversed within 48 hours. Told me to call a telephone number. Happened to be "new customer" telephone number. explained to them that I already had an account, and only need the purchase of the subscription. The guy on the telephone wants my personal information to create a new account. Told him I already have an account. He said I must create a new account. So I told him he can't help me, and I ended the call. Went back into "Chat" to tell them this is their last chance to get me a subscription or I'm taking my business somewhere else. "Chat" tells me that LifeLock is having a "gateway failure" and they cannot process any payments at this time. Called it quits...going somewhere else.

        Problem was resolved. Money was reimbursed. I will leave Lifelock with 3 stars. 1 because this shouldn’t have happened in the first place. 2 the amount of people I had to talk to. 3 the call center is no longer in the U.S. I was good back in the day but my confidence in LifeLock is broken.

        Original Review: Sept. 18, 2024

        Ok. I’ve been a LifeLock customer for over two years. I renewed my subscription and they charged my card twice. I pay by the year. So ok I get ahold of customer service. She looks into it and said I hadn’t even been charged. I have the bank statement were they charged me twice in two minutes. Then she said my account is no longer active. My account is active. She hangs up rudely. So I call again. Second person said that it will take care of itself…. I’m wondering now who the worst criminal is. The one you pay to protect you or the one that they’re supposed to protect you from.
