Apple has sent Apple Card users info on how to keep their accounts and personal data safe. Here’s the advice:
° Turn on Advanced Fraud Protection. The 3-digit security code for your Apple Card will change periodically for even more secure purchases on the web. Don’t worry, recurring charges will still go through. Go to Apple Card in Wallet, tap the card number button, then scroll down to Advanced Fraud Protection and turn it on.
° Enable transaction notifications. You will get an alert every time your card is used so you can catch suspicious activity as soon as it happens. Go to Apple Card in Wallet, tap the More button, then tap Notifications and turn on Transactions.
° Lock your titanium card if it’s ever lost or misplaced. Go to Apple Card in Wallet, tap, tap Card Details, then tap “Lock Card” under the Titanium Card section. If you find your card, you can easily unlock it. Lock or unlock Apple Card.
° Remove lost or stolen devices from your Apple account and change your Apple ID password if you believe it’s compromised.
