PSA - You can block your license from being looked up for identity purposes.

Basically... log in to dotdirect and add a block.

Remove the block when you actually need to be looked up.

Ahh, the remove bit is what I didn't get. I was wondering why I'd want to block this, as I use my license for ID periodically.

Yeah. I feel like they really dropped the ball by not providing a "remove block for 48 hours" function.
