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

@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.

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

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
