Hertz sent me an actual authorized email to make me eligible for “skip the counter” last week. It contained a QR code to their site. Hertz had been hacked so my card had to be cancelled and replaced. Of course it was the one card that I use for all of the vendors I use, like Amazon, airlines, storage, Netflix, Xfinty, and a long list of others that get monthly or annual payments. That’s twice in two years. Fortunately, Capital One caught both of them immediately and I paid for nothing. Just the same, I had to spend hours each time updating payment methods on my vendors. I now have saved a complete list of vendors to update the next time.

#58 do what I do and create a doc with all your accounts with the full bank account and credit card #’s and logins. Save on your computer. Safe as can be.... : )
I print out my accounts and store the paper somewhere safe.

I use the 2 factor method for the bank and credit cards but that won’t stop the gas station people from skimming your account and sending it to many crooks so they can start buying stuff with your money! That has happened to me at ARCO in California.

Use 1 thru 8 for a password.
It is so simple that crooks won’t believe it....
