Aura may lack some of the creature comforts of ID protection, like a credit simulator, but it more than makes up for this with the most needed and used features to protect your identity. It includes a credit lock button for Experian but limits credit reports to yearly, which might be too infrequent for the credit anxious among us. In addition to $1 million in insurance, the Individual plan includes three credit bureau scores and monitoring as well as data breach alerts and notifications for a property title change.
