A Guide to Bitdefender Family Plans

To invite one or more family members to a family plan, the plan manager must follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Bitdefender Central account at https://central.bitdefender.com/

2. Go to the My Subscriptions menu located on the left side of the page.

ⓘ Note: To share a Bitdefender Identity Theft Protection subscription included in a family plan (e.g. Bitdefender Ultimate Security Plus) select Identity Theft Protection instead of My Subscriptions on the left side of the page → click the user icon in the top right corner → Manage Family Protection → Add an Adult Household Member / Add Child Monitoring.

3. Choose Invite Member in the Bitdefender Family panel.

4. Select who you want to invite and click the Continue button:

• Teenager (13–17 years old)
• Child (12 years old or younger)

5. Setup instructions are emailed right away to the new members. Click on Close to exit the confirmation window.

Family members have 24 hours to accept your invite once it’s emailed to them.
