Identity Finder will locate Credit Card Numbers without requiring you to provide any personal information. It uses the AnyFind proprietary technology to find valid Credit Card numbers, and then assigns an icon to the identity match that represents the specific credit card issuer. If you want to search for only a specific Credit Card Number, you should disable AnyFind and add your credit card to the Unique Identity Include List. Credit Card Numbers can be used to make unauthorized purchases on your behalf, so searching for this Identity Match Type is of critical importance.
By default, Identity Finder will always search for Credit Card Numbers using AnyFind. However, you may customize this behavior.
If you are using the Startup Wizard, you can select or deselect the "Credit Card Numbers (or Debit Card)" option and you can choose to add specific, unique Credit Card Numbers to the search.
If you are not using the Startup Wizard, you can enable or disable AnyFind searching for Credit Card Numbers by clicking the "Credit Card" button on the What to Search For ribbon. When the button has an orange highlight, it is enabled and Identity Finder will use AnyFind searching. You can also Add a Credit Card Number to the Unique Identity Include List via the "Include List" page of the "Identity Finder Personal Information File" dialog box (you can open this dialog box by pushing the Add/Remove Information button on the What to Search for ribbon). Within that dialog box, when Credit Card Number is selected in the "Identity Type" drop down box, you can check or uncheck the "Enable Automatic Search for Credit Card" to change your AnyFind settings for Credit Card Numbers. The ribbon button will update automatically to reflect any changes you make here.
Note: When entering a unique Credit Card Number, it must be entered as 13-16 digits with or without spaces, but without dashes or any other characters. For example "4111111111111111" (without the quotes) is valid. However "4111-1111-1111-1111" (without the quotes) is invalid because it contains dashes.
