Whether you've changed devices or just want to protect additional devices, your Guardio membership allows you to protect up to 5 devices (any computers or mobile devices, including tablets) of your own and invite four family members to do the same at no additional cost.
Installing the Guardio browser extension on Additional Computers
The easiest way: Syncing your Google account:
- If you sync your browsers to your Google Account, Guardio installs on your other browsers automatically. You don't need to do anything else.
- If you need to sign in to your Google Account or Sync your browsers: Turn sync on in Chrome and Guardio will install automatically.
Manually installing Guardio:
If you prefer not to sync your devices or if you use multiple Google profiles, you can manually install Guardio without the need to sync devices.
- Open Guardio in your browser's app store (Guardio in the Chrome web store // Guardio in the Edge store).
- Use the option to add Guardio to your browser (Chrome users press Add to Chrome // Edge users press Get).
- Visit the Guardio Login Page and enter the email address and password you provided when activating protection on your first device.
- Check your email inbox for an email containing your PIN and enter that code back on the Guardio Login Page.
