Using the Family Plan on a single Central account vs. 5 accounts

Devildoc99

I have Premium Security Family. There are 6 family members and maybe 15-20 devices, mostly phones and iPads that need to be covered.

My question, is it better to just leave me with my account at Bifdefender central and get the devices covered by sending links out to who needs them, or should 5 members create their own Bitdefender Central accounts and set up their own devices that way.

The simpler way, it seems to me, is to just let me manage everything and cover the devices. The others really have no interest in managing their devices on their own and would be more than happy leaving it all up to me.

Hello,

I think you can do it either way. The Family plans are multi-subscription packs designed to cater to all your family security needs. From safeguarding adults’ devices against online threats to protecting personal information from prying eyes, and protecting children against inappropriate online content, the concept behind the all-in-one Family plan is to provide a personalized experience, so it offers roles tailored for parents, teens, and kids.

If you were to cover all 15-20 devices under the same account, you won't be able to assign roles to family members and they also won't be able to use all the features as intended, for example with one Central account the family members can't really share the same password manager, that will work only when they have separate accounts that are still under the same subscription, of course. If they don't require a password manager, or already have one, then this won't be a blocker I guess.

But technically speaking, it will work to cover all family members' devices under a singular Central account, as there are no limitations here. For more information on how this plan was designed to work, you can check the below article:
