Microsoft Defender keeps losing all information for credit and dark web monitoring.

Microsoft Defender keeps losing all information for credit and dark web monitoring. This has been going on for several months and is very annoying. Every couple weeks I have to enter all my information again. Makes the app quite useless. If that is not fixed soon, I will give up on this product.

    Hello,

    I guess you didn't really read my question.

    Of course I have a Microsoft account (and MS Office 365 Family); this is required to set up MS Defender.

    I had already set up credit monitoring and dark web monitoring several times and it was working.

    The issue is not that I can't set up the app and these features, but that Defender keeps losing all the data I entered every couple weeks, and I'm tired of reentering them. There is a massive bug in the app that makes it lose all the credit and dark web monitoring data on a regular basis; many other people have complained about this too.

    I have the same issue. Just put my info in again for the 4th time. I have Office 365 and Windows 10 Pro. I have it on my iPad Pro and Pixel 7 Pro. This is infuriating. They need to fix this.

    I am having exact same same issue. Microsoft Defender Credit Monitoring Items disappear. after a few days/weeks.

    I also have the Pro version of windows. The issue seems to be caused by a combination of having a Microsoft 365 subscription and Windows PRO.

    This is not happening for my other Microsoft 365 family members that do not use a Windows PRO version.

    There are at least 3 threads with the same issue:
