What is an Avast Account?

An Avast Account is a portal for managing your paid Avast subscriptions. On your Avast Account you can find information about:

• Subscriptions: Find tools and information to help you manage your Avast subscriptions. Options include download links for all of your purchased products, valid activation codes, and the number of devices where you are currently using the subscription.
• Billing: Check the next billing date for each subscription, change your payment card details, and unsubscribe directly via your Avast Account if you do not want to be charged again for a subscription.
• Order history: Review your complete Avast order history. Options include requesting a refund, finding your Order ID number, and retrieving an order invoice.

Is an Avast Account created automatically for me when I purchase an Avast product?

Troubleshooting

Why do I see the error message 'Authorization Error 400: admin_policy_enforced'?

This error message appears when you try to sign in to your Avast Account using the Continue with Google option while you are signed in to a corporate Google Account managed via Google Apps Device Policy. To resolve this issue, try one of the options below:

• Return to the Avast Account sign in page. Rather than using the Continue With Google option, manually enter your Avast Account credentials, then click Continue.
• Return to the Avast Account sign in page and select Continue with Google. From the list of Google Accounts that appears, select a non-corporate Google Account (for example, your personal Google Account). If prompted, enter your Google Account credentials.

You are now signed in to your Avast Account.

Why is my Avast Account locked?

Every time you sign in to your Avast Account, we automatically scan known data breaches to ensure that your password is safe. If we find that the password you use to access your Avast Account was leaked online in another service's data breach, we immediately lock the account. To unlock your Avast Account, you need to reset your password.
