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

@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
