My 93 year old mom got a letter regarding a data breach. So they are giving the involved people two free years of credit monitoring. But I need to sign her up on the website.
However, since she already had a credit breach at the hospital, she already is signed up for that at the same monitoring company.
So when I tried to sign her up for this new credit breach....it said the email addresses were already being used there. And I needed to use a different email address.
They talked about making some kind of alias account using a plus sign. Then any email would go into your regular account. I don't understand how to do it.
So I tried to make a new Gmail account for my mom. Problem is when I got to the part about proving you aren't a robot....they require you to put in your cell phone, and then type the code that comes back on your cell phone. I don't have a cell phone. So I couldn't make her an email account.
Any ideas? Is making an Gmail alias account with the plus sign hard to do?
