It’s difficult to remember where it is, even with spending more time engaging with this website than ever before.
+1Personally, I’m not too keen on that myself. As forum volunteers, we’re constantly taking screenshots from MyOVO and having to remember to redact yet another thing every single time is going to be painful for us. I also fear it could cause even more personal data leaks from screenshots posted on the forum by other users.
You’ll always find it on the home page of MyOVO though!
+1For us? Maybe. But loads of forum users don’t know how to edit screenshots or screenshot just certain parts of the screen and just hit Print Screen then chuck their entire screen onto a forum post. We’ve already had to report quite a few posts and comments for personal data leaks based on that.
And most people don’t want to be told to use Snipping Tool or Snip & Sketch to just get the part we need.

What possible use could a criminal make of my OVO account number? Sure, it’s ‘personal data’ inasmuch as it’s unique to the account holder, but I can’t see (yet) why it’s risky to expose it in a public forum.
