How to connect a device to My Kaspersky account

If you purchased your subscription from the Kaspersky website, an account was created during the purchase process. An email with the password creation link was sent to the email address that you specified during purchase.

You can sign in to your My Kaspersky account using your email address and password, or with your Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account. If you already have an account, you can configure quick sign-in with your Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account in the window used for connecting your device to your My Kaspersky account. This is possible if, when creating your My Kaspersky account, you used the email address from your Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account.

The availability of quick sign-in depends on your region. For more details on restrictions in Russia, please see this article (available only in English and Russian).

If you do not have an account yet, you can create one in the process of connecting the device to your account. You can also use credentials from other Kaspersky resources to sign in to your account.

You can connect a device to your account:

     Then, you will be prompted to sign in to your My Kaspersky account or create a new My Kaspersky account to save your activation code.

     In the account connection window, select the connection method that you find the most convenient:

     • Sign in with an email address. Enter your email address in the text box. A message with a password creation link is sent to the specified email address.

     • Sign in with Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account.
       1. Click Sign in with Google, Sign in with Facebook, Sign in with Apple, Sign in with Yandex ID, or Sign in with VK ID.

          This opens a browser window; in that window, sign in to your Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account and allow the application to gain access to your email address.

          If you do not have a Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account, you can create one and proceed with configuring quick sign-in to My Kaspersky.

          If two-step verification is configured for your My Kaspersky account, configure quick sign-in in your account on the My Kaspersky website then go back to the application and sign in with Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK.

          If you are using the Microsoft Edge browser, to configure the sign-in to My Kaspersky, you will need a version of Microsoft Edge based on Chromium 77.x or later. In case of a connection error, select a different browser as your default browser, install the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser, or update the Microsoft Windows operating system.

       2. Go back to the application and proceed with creating the account by clicking Continue. Follow subsequent on-screen instructions.
