How to protect another device

Functionality is not available in some regions.

You can share free protection with your other Windows, Android or iOS device.

You can always check how many devices you are already protecting and how many more you can protect in the Profile section of the application and in your My Kaspersky account. There you will also find easy-to-use tools for sharing your protection with another device.

To share protection from your application:

  1. Open the main application window.
  2. Go to the Profile section.
  3. Click the button Add. In some subscription, the text on the button reads Protect device.
  4. In the Protect more devices window, select one of following options:
    • Scan a QR code

      On the QR code tab, point your phone's camera to the QR code.

      On your mobile device, this opens the Google Play store, App Store, or Huawei AppGallery at the application download page. After you download and install the app, it automatically connects to My Kaspersky and starts protecting your device.

      By using a QR code on an Android device, you agree to provide a one-time password to Google Play to activate the application on your smartphone.

    • Send a link by email
      1. Go to the By email tab.
      2. Click the link.

        This opens My Kaspersky sign-in window in your default browser.

      3. In the Send by email window, enter the email address in the text box and click Send.
      4. Download the application by following the link in the email.

        After downloading and installation, the application automatically connects to your My Kaspersky account.

In some subscription plans, only the general information about the total number of devices that you can protect may be displayed.

To learn more about remote management of device protection, revoking the subscription from a user, or revoking the subscription from a device, see My Kaspersky Help.
