Unable to log in

[Sam2023]

I am having the same login problem as mentioned by some community contributors here.

I had enabled my 2FA which had worked well in the past. In the past one week or so, I have not been able to receive the 6-digit SMS verification code on my cellular phone. As such, I am unable to log in to my account.

I have raised the issue with McAfee customer service (service request number 1-147863731). Through the 2 chats I had with its representatives on 13 Jun 2023, I noted that the issue has not really been resolved. Meanwhile, I would not have access to my account.

To address the issue, I would do away with the 2FA and rely on my email ID and OTP sent to my email to access my account.

I would therefore like to request McAfee to disable my 2FA at your end (since I am unable to log in to my account to effect any changes). McAfee may communicate with me via my email registered with McAfee to verify my identity.  Thank you.

Hi,@Venkat_YM 

Many thanks for your help.  I am now able to log in to my account without the 2FA. 

I will re-enable my 2FA once you guys have found a solution to the issue reported.

Have a nice day. Regards.

Hi Venkat,

I am having the same login problem for several months now. I would like to request McAfee to disable my 2FA at your end and please let me know if you need any further details.

Many thanks in advance!

I am still unable to log in after many months of raising tickets, calling the McAfee helpline and posting on this forum. Resolving this 2FA issue for customers is not being taken seriously by McAfee. 

Very disappointing level of service that a paying customer cannot log in to their account and no support has been provided.
