With everything from malware protection to VPN access and a password manager, Aura takes traditional identity protection to new levels. Its three bureau credit scores and monthly credit reports are complemented by a credit lock button for Experian transactions. Although it has consistently ranked at the top of our list of best identity theft protection services it does fall short in one few key areas: It lacks a credit calculator and simulator to improve your credit scores.
