Initial setup of Kaspersky Safe Kids

Important: To prevent sensitive data falling into the wrong hands and to rule out the possibility of the application being used as a tracking tool, make sure that Kaspersky Safe Kids is linked to the correct account on My Kaspersky.

In the Sign In to My Kaspersky window, perform one of the following actions:

• If you have the login and password for your My Kaspersky account, enter your credentials and click Sign In.

  Note: If you enter the password incorrectly several times in a short period, you will need to enter characters from a picture to pass the security check.

• If you have registered on My Kaspersky with your Apple, Google, or Facebook account, you must create a password for your My Kaspersky account. To do this, click the Did you register via Apple, Google, or Facebook? link and follow the instructions. For more details, see the My Kaspersky help.

  Note: The availability of the options to sign in with Apple, Google, or Facebook depends on your region. For more details on restrictions in Russia, please see this article (available only in English and Russian).

  Note: If you have enabled two-step verification for your My Kaspersky account, you will need to enter a code received via an SMS message or generated in an authenticator app.
