Since the last update, I am not able to sign in. It is in a continuous loop, keeps asking for password; then, it sends a code, again, it does not work. I have to go on a PC to look at my account. Thus, what's the point of this useless app. Perhaps it's time to move on. When is this useless app going to get fixed. We paid good money for the service. However, we can not sign in.

Apologies for the inconvenience, Luis. Kindly reset McAfee Security (Open Phone Settings>Apps>Select McAfee>Tap Storage>Tap Clear cache/reset). Then try logging in to the app. If that does not help, contact our support team at mcafee.com/support/contact. They will be able to help and escalate your concern as appropriate. Thanks!

The current update RUINED A ONCE GOOD APP! I logged out and now I can't log back in! It shows "Start my FREE 30-day trial", and underneath that it shows "Got an activation code?", even though I'm already subscribed, and have already paid for your service via automatic renewal! What the heck is going on?! I'm a paying customer, and I can't even log in to use the app! McAFee...you're too big of a company, to screw up an app this badly! It was fine just the way it was! Even the widget is now gone!

Well my subscription will be canceled next September. Removed the widget (used that 99% of the time for a shortcut), can't even look at my actual account details in the app, and it's basically a downgrade of an app once you get down to it. Wish I would have saved my money and bought a different security monitor. Oh and the VPN doesn't work like it's supposed to. For a company that's been around as long as yall, you'd think you'd be making leaps forward in digital security...
