FAQs

These answers might help.

Maximum identity, privacy, and device protection to confidently live life online, with comprehensive identity monitoring, plus full-service data removal from data broker sites and old, unused online accounts.

Our family plans include personalized protection for each family member, along with parental controls to protect your children online and help them build good digital habits.

Both plans offer all-in-one online protection in a single, simple solution that protects your family’s personal data and privacy. However, McAfee+ Ultimate offers our maximum privacy and identity protection.

McAfee+ Ultimate is compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, and mobile devices. You can find operating system compatibility on our System Requirements page.

When you open McAfee+ Ultimate for the first time after installing, you’ll be greeted by a guided tour that will help you run scans and discover all your protection capabilities.

Setting up family protection is simple. Just enter an email address or mobile phone number for each person you want to invite.

Your family member will get a message to log in along with steps to set up protection for their computers, phones, web browsing, and passwords. They’ll also have their own identity monitoring to receive alerts when their personal data is found on the dark web.

Two adults can also find their personal info on data broker sites to remove it, and clean up personal info from old online accounts.

Each family member will have their own notifications and log in where they can check their Protection Score along with recommended steps to improve their score and overall online safety.

Parental controls provides you with the ability to supervise and keep your kids safer online. When you sign up for a family plan, you’ll receive easy instructions to get set up with the parental controls app.

See what your kids are up to: View your kid’s device activity and location at a glance from your phone or desktop.
Set rules and time limits: Start off with age-based rules for apps and websites that you can customize based on your kid’s needs.
Know where your kids are: Locate them on a live map and receive automated notifications when they enter or leave familiar places like a school or the library.
Family requests: Collaborate with your kids by allowing them to request extra app time or access blocked apps or websites.

What's included in McAfee+ family plans?

Family plans come with identity restoration support, online privacy, and device security for up to 6 family members without having to share logins. Each family member can set up their own identity, privacy, and device protection features in the way that works best for them.

Each family member gets their own, Individual Protection Score, which shows how safe they are, with guidance on how to improve their protection. Plus, parents can help keep their children safe online and limit their risk exposure with parental controls.

Additional features for adults include Personal Data Cleanup, Online Account Cleanup, and more!

How do I share the subscription with my family?

To share your subscription with your family, log in to My Account and click Manage users and devices. From there, you can send an invitation to each family member to join your plan. Each family member will be able to set up their McAfee account and complete the setup for their online protection.

Why does my spouse need online protection if I already have it?

Every one of us has valuable personal data and our online privacy to protect. When you add your spouse as an adult family member on your family account, they will be able to set up and manage their own identity monitoring, Personal Data Cleanup to remove their info from data broker sites, and more.

How many people can I add to my family plan?

You can add up to 5 additional people to your family plan for a total of 2 adults and 4 children (minors).

Why should my children have online protection?

Kids need protection in many of the same ways adults do. They have usernames and email addresses that could be part of a data breach, finding their way to the dark web where criminals can access them.

How will minors be able to manage their online protection?

The account owner can invite members as either an adult or a minor. Minors (and adults) will have access to their own accounts on the McAfee Protection Center. However, minors have access to fewer identity and privacy features than adults.

As a parent, you can choose to set up and manage your child’s account yourself and access the account in the McAfee Protection Center in order to stay on top of your child’s online protection settings, notifications, Protection Score, and recommended steps to improve your child’s online safety.

As the purchaser (admin), can I see all other family member McAfee+ accounts?

As the account owner, you can see all users and their devices. However, you will not be able to access family members’ Protection Score, settings, and alerts.

What comes with parental controls?

The internet is a wide-open world and parents can’t always be there to supervise what their children are accessing or who their communicating with online. McAfee+ Family plans include the tools you need to:

view device activity easily from your phone or desktop
set app and website rules and time limits
locate your kids on a live map and receive automated notifications when they enter or leave familiar places
collaborate with your kids by allowing them to request extra app time or access blocked apps or websites.

Can I add someone like my parent or child who doesn’t live in my home as a member on my family plan?

Yes, family is what you make it. Add one adult and up to four minors to your plan no matter where they live. It’s simple to get them set up. Just enter their email address and they’ll get a message with instructions.

If family members leave my plan does my price change?

No, the price of your plan will not change if family members leave your plan. You can still make the most of your plan by adding someone else to take their spot!

How does payment for the family plan work?

The purchaser (account owner) of the family plan is the only person who can manage payment and payment settings.

Can I change the primary account owner?

The purchaser of the plan will always be the primary account owner.

What devices and OS are compatible with McAfee+?

McAfee+ is compatible with laptops, desktops, tablets, Chromebooks, and mobile devices. You can find operating system compatibility on our System Requirements page.

Why is closing my online accounts important?

When you create an online account, your personal data is added to a company's database and can remain there even after you delete the account. An internet user can have hundreds of online accounts, many of which they might not know are still active.

The more companies that have your personal info, the higher the chance one of them will get breached, putting you at risk of identity theft. We'll help you delete these accounts for good so you can take back control of your privacy and even cut down on annoying spam emails.

How can McAfee help me clean up my online accounts?

We’ll show you which companies or websites have access to your personal information and provide steps on how to reach out to them to have it deleted. If you prefer to save time and have McAfee send the requests with a single click, the request will be transmitted directly from your email inbox. We help you send these requests, but we do not act as an agent on your behalf.

How will you see who has my personal data?

With your approval, we’ll scan the subject lines in your inbox to see which companies are emailing you and how much of your info they might have. We will only look at the email sender, subject line, timestamp, and the first few words of the email—we will not scan the full body of the email or any attachments.

We’ll then help you decide which accounts you want to keep and which you might want to delete to lower the risk of a data breach.

What’s the difference between “Scans” and “Full-service”?

Online Account Cleanup: Scans helps you find any accounts tied to your email and gives you clear instructions to reclaim your data. Online Account Cleanup: Scans is included in all McAfee+ plans.

Online Account Cleanup: Full-service not only finds your accounts, but lets the experts send the data deletion requests for you with a single click, saving you up to 10 hours or more* of manual work. Online Account Cleanup: Full-service is only included with McAfee+ Ultimate plans.

I have identity theft coverage with my McAfee+ plan. What should I do if I'm a victim of identity theft? Select McAfee plans include identity theft coverage to cover up to $1,000,000 (USD) of qualifying losses and provide restoration support to help you reclaim your identity.

If you think you may be a victim of identity theft and you have identity theft coverage with your McAfee+ plan, go to protection.mcafee.com and click on Go to dashboard in the gray Identity row and find Identity theft support.

How does Social Privacy Manager work?

Social Privacy Manager is a web extension that lets you manage your privacy settings across social media all from one place.

We do this by scanning your privacy settings on the different social media platforms you’ve connected and recommending changes that can help improve your privacy. You can choose which recommendations to apply and update your settings on each platform right from the extension.

Does McAfee scan all my settings on each social media platform?

We only scan key privacy settings on each platform you select. We organize these settings into four main categories: content visibility, ad preferences, social interactions, and platform experience.

You can review these settings by category on the Summary page.

What are my privacy recommendations based on?

Your privacy recommendations are based on the user type you select. This ensures our recommendations are tailored around how you use social media. For example, if someone prefers to post publicly on social media, we won’t recommend an update that would make their posts private.

You can change your user type at any time from your Social Privacy Manager settings. When you do, we’ll scan your settings on each platform again and update your recommendations based on your new user type.

Can McAfee see my private social media posts and messages?

We don't see any of your private social media posts, messages, or any other private data connected to your accounts, browser history, or device. We also will never post on your behalf or make changes to your profile.

Social Privacy Manager only looks at your privacy settings and can only update your settings when you approve.
