McAfee Family plans provide comprehensive protection for every member of your household — from your kids’ first smartphones to your parents’ laptops and your own work devices. Instead of managing separate subscriptions for everyone, a single family plan covers up to six people with individual identity monitoring, unlimited device protection, parental controls, and all the antivirus and privacy tools McAfee is known for. Get your family protected today by activating at mcafee.com/activate with your family plan product key.

​
McAfee+ Advanced Family Plan

The McAfee+ Advanced Family plan is McAfee’s flagship family offering — built to cover your entire household without compromise.

​
What Your Family Gets

  • Six family members covered under one subscription — each with their own protected account
  • Unlimited devices across all family members, including Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and ChromeOS
  • Automatic Personal Data Cleanup that continuously removes family members’ information from 30+ data broker sites
  • Credit Monitoring for each adult member with real-time alerts for score and report changes
  • Up to $1 million in identity theft coverage per adult — covering lost funds, legal expenses, and restoration support
  • Deepfake Detector to flag AI-manipulated audio and video content in real time
  • Individual identity monitoring alerts so each family member gets notified about their own data breaches

​
McAfee Safe Family Parental Controls

McAfee Safe Family gives parents powerful, easy-to-use tools to guide kids’ online experiences without hovering over their shoulders every moment of the day.
  • Monitor kids’ online activity — see which apps and websites your children visit most, with detailed usage reports
  • Set screen time limits — define daily usage schedules for each child’s device, with automatic lockout when time is up
  • Block inappropriate apps and websites — filter content by category (adult content, gambling, social media, gaming) or block specific URLs
  • Location tracking — view each family member’s real-time location from the McAfee parent dashboard, with location history
McAfee Safe Family parental controls work across Android and iOS devices. You manage everything from a single parent account — no need to touch each child’s device after initial setup.

How to Set Up Your McAfee Family Plan

Setting up protection for your entire family is straightforward. Follow these steps to get everyone covered.
1

Activate at mcafee.com/activate

On any device, open a browser and go to mcafee.com/activate. Sign in to your McAfee account — or create a new one if you’re a first-time customer. Enter your family plan 25-digit product key and click Submit to validate it.
2

Go to My Account → Family

After activation, navigate to your McAfee account dashboard and select My Account, then choose Family from the sidebar. This is where you manage all family member seats under your subscription.
3

Invite family members via email

Click Add Family Member and enter each person’s email address. McAfee will send each family member a personalized invitation with instructions to join your plan. You can send invitations to up to 6 people total.
4

Each member installs McAfee using your shared subscription

When a family member accepts their invitation, they sign in with their own McAfee account (or create one) and download the McAfee app on their devices. Your shared subscription licenses their installation automatically — no separate product key needed for each person.
Each family member receives their own identity monitoring alerts and breach notifications tied to their personal information. Adults get their own credit monitoring dashboard and are individually covered by the $1M identity theft coverage benefit.

​

Managing online safety across a household is a real challenge. McAfee Family plans solve it by giving every family member the tools they need while letting you oversee everything from a single account.
  • One subscription, everyone covered — no more juggling individual licenses or renewal dates
  • Kids stay safer online — parental controls let you set boundaries without constant supervision
  • Adults stay financially protected — credit monitoring and identity theft coverage guard against fraud
  • Privacy for the whole family — automatic data cleanup removes everyone’s information from people-search sites
  • Real-time scam detection — Scam Detector protects every family member from text, email, and video-based scams
  • 30-day money-back guarantee — try the McAfee+ Advanced Family plan completely risk-free
McAfee Safe Family parental controls are also available as a standalone subscription for families who only need child protection features — without the full McAfee+ security suite. Check mcafee.com for standalone Safe Family pricing and options.
