How can I share my McAfee subscription?

How to share your McAfee subscription on Spliiit?

McAfee is an all-in-one cybersecurity suite that protects your devices and data: premium antivirus, secure browsing, identity monitoring, and secure VPN (depending on the plan). Ideal for securing your PC/Mac/mobile devices on a daily basis, especially on public Wi-Fi networks.

McAfee offers a sharing mode designed for multiple users: McAfee+ Family plans. Passwords are not shared; the owner sends invitations and each co-subscriber logs in with their own McAfee My Account.

🔗 Sharing method: invitation 👥 Number of users: up to 10 users max 📅 Shareable plans: Total Protection (Standard / Plus / Premium)

Best practices for sharing McAfee in 30 seconds

✅ Ask each co-subscriber for the exact email address they will use to log in to McAfee
✅ Specify that they must accept the invitation (log in or create an account) to activate access
✅ If you reach the limit, you must delete an existing profile before inviting someone else.
