About My Kaspersky account

A My Kaspersky account is required to sign in to and use My Kaspersky as well as to use certain Kaspersky applications.

If you do not have a My Kaspersky account yet, you can create one on My Kaspersky or directly from compatible applications. You can also use your other Kaspersky accounts to sign in.

When creating a My Kaspersky account, you have to specify a valid email address and set a password. The password must contain at least 8 characters, including at least one number, one uppercase Latin letter, and one lowercase Latin letter. Blank spaces are not allowed.

If the password is too weak or common, you must make it stronger in order to continue the sign-up process.

After your account is created, you will receive an email message containing a link to activate your account.

Activate your account by clicking the link in the email message.

About two-step verification

Two-step verification may be unavailable in your region. For more details, see the My Kaspersky Help.

Two-step verification prevents bad guys from signing in to your My Kaspersky account even if they know your password. To verify your identity, you will receive a unique security code in one of the following ways:

• Via an SMS. We use the phone number you save on My Kaspersky. This means that both your password and your phone are needed to sign in to your account.
• Via an authenticator app. You first need to set up two-step verification via your mobile phone number for the authenticator app feature to be available.

You can turn on two-step verification on My Kaspersky. If you change your phone number, you can update it on My Kaspersky. If you are already signed in to your account on a device, nothing will change for you. For detailed instructions, see the My Kaspersky Help.

The security code is valid for a short period. If it expires, request another security code.
