How to add, rename, or remove a device?

You can manage every device you protect from the Devices page in your dashboard.

Adding a device

  1. Go to Devices in your dashboard.
  2. Click Add device and give it a friendly name, like "Mom's Laptop."
  3. Follow the steps to install Shield on it. If you're on Family Lite or Family, you can also click Send by email to have a family member install it themselves, or Copy install link to share it yourself.

Renaming a device

  1. Find the device in your Devices list and open its details.
  2. Click Rename, enter a new name, and save.

Removing a device

  1. Find the device in your Devices list and open its details.
  2. Click Remove device and confirm.

What to expect

A renamed device shows its new name everywhere in your dashboard right away. A removed device stops being protected and disappears from your device list, freeing up a slot in your plan for another device.
