McAfee Account Login: Are You Facing Problems?

Sometimes, you may face difficulty logging into your McAfee Account. Let’s see what could go wrong between you and your McAfee account.

1) Check your email address: Are you sure you are typing the correct email id? Sometimes we are so busy with other work that as an automaton, we keep typing one email id in all forms.

2) Your Password: Have you submitted the correct McAfee sign in password with the correct email id?

3) You are unable to log in from the home page?

4) Or, for some reason, you cannot access your old email?

There is a cure for everything in the technical world. You can also tackle these problems stopping you from logging into your McAfee account. 

1)  McAfee Account Login: Email Problem

The first sign of trouble is; your email is not working. You want to make sure that you have typed the correct email id in your McAfee Account. To do this, make sure the email id is the same one you had used to create the McAfee account. Sometimes when the cache has not been cleared, our browsers automatically submit the last email id we might have entered in some other form. Make sure that your browser is not playing this trick on you. If it is, delete the incorrect id and fill in the correct email associated with your McAfee Account.

2)  McAfee Account Login: Password Problem

Even the late Mr. McAfee would have found trouble remembering his McAfee account and his Swiss bank account passwords all the time. If that happens with you, and you somehow can’t remember your McAfee password, or the password is wrong, the first thing to make sure is, your caps lock is off. Like all other secure passwords, the McAfee password is also case sensitive; it will decline to log in if you type MCafee or mCaFee instead of McAfee. (Just an example). 

3)  McAfee Account Problem: Can’t Login at Home Page

This problem usually occurs with mobile devices. You open the home page home.mcafee.com, confidently enter your usual email id and password, but hey! Instead of getting into your account, a Network error pops up on your screen!

 

·         Solution 1: Network Error

You might see a network error message when the internet connectivity is down. Try to open some other page like Twitter, and check your net connectivity. If the other page also shows an error or does not open, this means you need to reconnect.

 

·         Solution 2: Recovering Email 

You could also see other error messages, such as creating an account (but you already have one!), recover your password (you just entered it!), or validate your email account. 

The good news is, if you think you have misspelled or forgotten your email id associated with the McAfee account, you can find it from your info or subscription pages. Just open the McAfee product you had bought, go to ‘your subscription’ or ‘my info’ section. With your subscription details, on the left pane you can also see the email id you had registered with the McAfee account. Simple. Done. Now you can try to log into the home page again.

·         Solution 3: Recovering Password

The McAfee home page asks you to recover your password. Or, you have really forgotten what password you had given it the last time. Don’t worry, McAfee takes care of all your forgetfulness. Just log in from the home page (home.mcafee.com). It will open the email and password filling page, where you will see a link of ‘forgotten your password’. (You’ll also find the ‘forgotten your email' link here, in case you don’t remember the registered email with your McAfee product).

Clicking on the ‘forgotten password’ link will take you to another page, where you will be asked to provide your registered email. After which, McAfee will send you a mail with a link for resetting the password. Click that link and reset your password. Remember, McAfee does not allow special characters (such as &, #, $, etc.) in its password. Only numbers and letters, please. Also, if you don’t use the link in the McAfee mail, in 72 hours it will become invalid. So, don’t be a lazy duck and reset your password immediately.

4)  McAfee Account Problem: Old Email Not Accessible

For some reason or other, you do not have access to your old email any more. Now, you cannot log into your McAfee account. Fortunately, McAfee customer service is always there to help you for McAfee login issue. Just drop an email to them and they will find your account and help you access it with a new email.

Make sure you do not make these mistakes. Then logging into your McAfee Account will be swift and trouble free.
