Top reviews from the United States
1) You will need from prior registration your McAfee account username and password as it's needed to activate the new subscription code. Would exxpect your username is email address, and if you don't know your password, can reset it during the account credentials entry process/window.
2) The Amazon.com purchase of the 2023 McAfee Total Protection software will send you and email. Click on the email's 'Access Your Content' button. This will open a web browser and list your Amazon.com (computer software) subscriptions including the recent McAfee purchase.
3) The web page entry for your purchase will have both the subscription activation (i.e., also use for renewal) code, and a LINK right above the code to 'activate your subscription'. Copy/paste into computer memory or write down the subscription activation code.
4) Click on the hyperlink to 'activate your subscription'.
5) A new web page will open to the McAfee website where you will need to log-in with your username (email address) and password. There is a link in case you forgot your password.
6) Once Logged in to McAfee website, click on the link to view your Subscriptions. The page will refresh and list all the separate purchases' history. Find the entry for the
EXISTING INSTALLED ACTIVE software purchase that you want to apply the new software renewal registration code. Click on that entry to pretend renewing your subscription
but at this point be careful going forward you DO NOT BUY NOR ENTER ANY CREDIT CARD/PAYMENT INFORMATION NOR ACCEPT ANY AUTORENEWAL OPTIONS.
7) Once in the renewal screen, there should be a link (although easily overlooked) that allows you to access another page to enter the software activation code you already just purchased for 2023.
8) The browser will progress to a page that should mention near the top of the text that activation occurred BUT YOU'RE NOT DONE and the software is NOT YET RENEWED!!!! THE REST OF THE SCREEN WILL HAVE AUTO-RENEWAL CONTENT in an attempt to get you to buy the annual renewal at a higher prices. IGNORE THAT TEXT but you still have another step. Near the bottom of the page will be a obscure hyperlink with text such as ignore offer/continue activation. Click on this link to finally apply/activate the additional year.
9) Another browser page will display stating your subscription is renewed.
10) Go back to your account main page then access your subscriptions. The expiration date for your subscriptin should have extended by 365 days.
McAfee then instructed me to enter a code from a card I purchased. Didn't get any card. No way to contact Amazon, since I can't "return" software that resides somewhere in the cloud and Amazon had invoked security alerts on my account. I could log on, buy anything I wanted, but security blocked me from tracking, reviewing, canceling, or returning my orders.
Amazon then sent me an email requesting a rating on my new McAfee software. In my mind, the rating was ZERO. SOMEBODY DROPPED THE BALL! I had been operating on a free trial of McAfee that came with the computer.
I already had a McAfee account, and the problem may have arisen, because a trial version of the program was on my new computer, the purpose of which was to encourage me to buy the full program at a slightly higher price than Amazon had charged me.
Also, since I had made some orders while visiting in another state using my old computer and bought a new computer after I returned, it generated all kinds of circular security alerts on Amazon due to the different locations and devices I had used. A real security nightmare.
Did you know you're expected to remember the month and year you first became a member of Amazon and your favorite charity at the time? I still haven't a clue. When you support more than one charity over the years, you don't necessarily have a favorite or remember which one you may have chose when asked by Amazon.
As a security question, they then asked me to list my thee latest purchases. We had bought some pantry items and sent some things to our grandchildren, but we could not remember the order of the orders. Since i had to get past the security alerts to access past orders, I "failed "the security test questions. I was getting frustrated with the security to say the least.
I finally talked to someone at Amazon customer service in person. They helped me access and install McAfee, and I changed my rating from 1 to 3. They automatically populated the correct code required by McAfee for me.
When things like this occur, it takes a lot of patience (which I was low on with the COVID thing going on), time and effort to fix. When I divide the value of the items by the time it took to resolve the security issues I had encountered, It amounted to less than half the minimum wage. I finally resolved the matter around 2:00 AM one morning after weeks of trying to fix it myself. The security alerts did not stop anyone with my password from logging into my account and making orders, only checking or canceling those orders. Not a very logical security program.
When you contact Amazon security (who work alone from home all over the globe), their mindset is that you want to create a new account or change your password, because you could not log on to your account. I had to interrupt fast-talking agents often to explain that I wanted to keep my account and that my password worked, so I WAS able to log on to my account. My password did not work when I wanted to review past orders. Amazon would send me to my email, and the destination from the email was a dead end.
