Can Public Mobile add additional security controls placed on my account such as adding a PIN, a passcode, or port lock.

There is a pin

But unfortunately no port lock

I'd love that

Use email aliases and different ones for you banking and your selfserve

Mispell your name

Keep you account number secret too

@Ewbsmi a quick fix is changing your name on your self service account. It can be anything your favourite Marvel Super hero. Fyi Wonder Woman is taken.😉.

Officially they are still working on it. And currently this is their protection

@Ewbsmi Unfortunately they do not. A port lock will be a great feature.

@Ewbsmi try your best to not register for the 2 step verification to your bank and PayPal etc. you can skip that option don't register for it. this gives fraudsters easy access your accounts.
