What is Bitdefender Central?

Bitdefender Central is an online platform that serves as your user account. You can use the Bitdefender account to activate subscriptions, install protection, manage your devices, view your invoices, and modify your account settings. Bitdefender Central also provides the latest security news and tips to help you stay informed and protect your digital life.

Accessing Bitdefender Central

The Bitdefender Central website can be accessed on any device connected to the internet. All you have to do is open your browser, go to https://central.bitdefender.com/ and sign in or create an account.

You can also use the Bitdefender Central app, available for Android and iPhone. With the mobile app, you get almost the same features, but they’re organized a bit differently.

The top row icons enable you to rename devices, update Bitdefender, remove devices, and more.
