New PC replace preinstalled McAfee LiveSafe by McAfee All ACCESS

Jump to solution

I'm setting up a new Windows 10 PC with a preinstalled McAfee LiveSafe.  It makes sense to replace this with McAfee All Access since I have 8 years paid subscription for another PC and laptop.  I therefore uninstalled the LiveSafe edition, the uninstall appeared to work with no errors, so no need to run MCPR.

I now need to download McAfee All Access, to do this I need to sign in to my McAfee account on the new PC. But using google browser I cannot sign in on my new PC, the sign in fails unable to recognise my email and/or password (but I can sign in on my old PC).  What has McAfee done to interfere with my sign in to my McAfee All access account.  Until I can resolve this ridiculous situation I cannot use my new PC, any ideas please would be welcome.

Thank you

Thank you Krishna.

I cleared cookies and cache on my google (default) browser as suggested.  Attempted to login to my McAfee account with no success again, it failed on username and/or password. 

I then switched to Microsoft Edge browser which worked, I was able to login to All Access McAfee account, download and installed successfully.  Afterwards I was able to log in to my All Access McAfee account on my google browser.  So its all ok now.

I suspect an inconsistency, when I uninstalled LiveSafe, because I hadn't registered the product before it was uninstalled.  Therefore there was no associated McAfee email and the inconsistency only applied  to the default browser (google).

Thank you Krishna it's fixed now I believe.
