A My Kaspersky account is required to sign in to My Kaspersky as well as to use My Kaspersky and certain Kaspersky applications.
You can sign in to your My Kaspersky account using your email address and password, or with your Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account. If you already have an account, you can configure quick sign-in with your Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account in the window used for connecting your device to your My Kaspersky account. This is possible if, when creating your My Kaspersky account, you used the email address from your Google, Facebook, Apple, Yandex, or VK account.
The availability of quick sign-in depends on your region. For more details on restrictions in Russia, please see this article (available only in English and Russian).
If a user from an unrestricted region attempts to sign in and the user's device is connected to a VPN location in a country where the selected Single Sign-On (SSO) provider is not available, then for the next 24 hours, the user will not be able to sign in through that SSO provider.
If you do not have an account yet, you can create it on the My Kaspersky website or from the applications compatible with My Kaspersky.
