    • Each time we ask you about your concerns, you set up protection around each of these areas based on your individual needs.

    • Do I need to set up personalization settings every time I log in to Clario?

      No. Clario shows you personalized recommendations based on your main concerns. These are selected when you first set up your Clario account. Next time you log in to the application, you’ll see your dashboard and there’ll be no need to go through the personalization steps again.

    • What if I skip the personalization part?

      Although we recommend doing this during setup, if you’re short on time, feel free to hit Skip. Please remember you won’t be able to select your digital concerns after your next login.

  3. 3. Can’t log into the Clario app
    • If you run into a problem and can’t log into the Clario app or into your account at account.clario.co, then just contact a support agent.

You’ll only need to have the email that you entered during your purchase. If you can’t remember which email you used with Clario, you should be able to find a Clario invoice in the inbox of the email address you used to purchase Clario.

  4. 4. Clario features
    • Identity protection area

      What's a data breach?
      A data breach occurs when any password you use to log in to your online accounts becomes publicly available. This might be a password to your account for a social media website like Facebook, a password to your email inbox, or any other online accounts you use. If someone else gets hold of these personal credentials leaked in a data breach, they can then use your online accounts to impersonate you, potentially resulting in identity theft. Clario is here to help you spot and fix these data breaches.
    • How do I scan my email for data breaches?
      1. Select the Identity area on your dashboard
      2. Add your email address if you haven’t done it yet. Enter your email address and hit Add email
      3. Wait until we scan your email for data leaks
      4. Click Done if no data leaks have been detected.
    • What if my credentials were found in a data breach?
      If your email was found in a data breach, here are some steps you should take to resolve this. Remember, we’re here to support you so feel free to get in touch whenever you like:
      1. Hit Get verification code
      2. Go to your mailbox and find the email from Clario with the code
      3. Copy this code, paste into Clario and click Verify email
      4. You’ll see a list of services where your account data was leaked
      5. Click the Review Breaches button and go through each data breach manually
      6. Change your leaked passwords by clicking the Open Website button from the breach list
      7. Once you changed your password, hit the Mark as fixed button next to the breach
    • What does the Combo List in my Clario Breach monitor mean?

      The Combo List is a massive database of email addresses and password pairs illegally obtained from various online systems. You won’t be able to see or open them but you can check if your password was breached by clicking Show details. If your address and password do show up on a Combo List collection, we recommend you change the password associated with your email inbox.

    • How many emails can I check for breaches?

      There’s no limit. You can add as many email accounts as you wish and we’ll monitor them all for security breaches.

    • Do I need to scan my email for breaches or will you do it for me?

      Once you add and verify your email, Clario will automatically monitor it to make sure your credentials don’t appear in a data breach.

    • What about my family members? Can I add their emails too?

      Sure, you can monitor as many emails as you want.

    • How do you check my accounts for breaches?

      We monitor massive amounts of data breach sources on the dark web as well as open sources to find the latest data breaches. Data breach info can include passwords for your online accounts.

      Once you add your email address to Clario. we’ll compare it with all the other addresses to appear when the data breach occurred. This helps us understand if your identity has been compromised.

    • How do I remove an email address from the data breach monitor?
      1. Open the Identity area from Clario dashboard
      2. Click Online accounts and select Data breach monitor
      3. Select the email you’d like to remove
      4. Click the trash bin icon in the top-right corner of the screen
      5. Click Remove to confirm, then hit Done
    • Browsing protection area

      What is VPN?

      Virtual Private Network (VPN) works like a wall between you and your internet provider. It secures your connection and masks your online location so you browse the web privately and anonymously. Many Clario areas include VPN so your data stays secure.

    • How do I turn Clario VPN on or off?
      1. Open the Clario app: click Finder in your Dock panel, open the Applications folder on the left sidebar and double-click on the Clario icon
      2. From the Clario dashboard, go to Browsing > Browsing location > Location restrictions. You'll see the window with a secure connection status.
      3. Click the Connect or Disconnect button at the bottom of the screen
    • Why can’t I use some of my sites when VPN is on?

      Chances are some websites and services may not be accessible if the VPN is on. For instance, users from different countries may see different prices on the same website. These types of techniques are known as 'dynamic pricing'. As a result, many streaming services and online shops have extra protections in place against VPN services. They can detect your VPN and block the web page until you turn it off.

    • Device protection area

      How can Clario protect my device from malware?

      We install anti-malware when setting Clario up. When it’s on, it protects your devices, files, browsing activity and your online banking accounts from cybercriminals. We’ll automatically block malicious apps from harming your files and monitor for unauthorized app access.

      Even more importantly, Clario protects you from malware, viruses and adware in real time. So you’ll stay secure when downloading anything, installing a new app, or shopping online.

    • How long does it take to scan my system for malware?

      You’ll need to wait for a short time as we scan your entire system and files. The period of time depends on how many files you have. But if you want to make sure your Mac is safe and secure, it’s worth waiting until the scan is over.

    • What to do if malware was found on my Mac?

      We automatically place any threats we find in a special space isolated from the rest of your Mac (quarantine, in other words). This way, the potentially malicious file can’t affect anything. To see the list of threats found, open your Clario dashboard and go to Device > System security > Anti-malware.

      We recommend you review all the found threats. You then decide what to do with them - restore, delete, or review these threats together with your Clario expert. If we’ve marked your personal files as a threat, we recommend you keep them in quarantine or safely delete them.

    • Can I scan external drives for malware?

      Yes, you can. Here’s how to do that:

      1. Connect an external drive to your Mac
      2. Open Clario
      3. Select the Device area and go to System security
      4. Hit the Anti-malware box
      5. Press the Custom Scan box and add the external drive. You can scan a file, folder, several folders, or the entire drive - just select the relevant checkboxes.
      6. Click Start scan and wait until it’s completed. This shouldn’t take long.
      7. If we find threats, you can select the checkboxes for them and hit Delete in the top-right corner
  5. 5. Clario browser extension
    • What is the Clario extension?

      Clario browser extension works in your Chrome or Safari browser to help you browse securely without fear of being targeted by cybercriminals. It blocks tracking requests on any websites you visit as well as the annoying ads you happen to see there. Plus, the latest Clario extension for Chrome also spots unsafe websites before you open them - even in your search results.

    • How to install the Clario extension?

      Just open Clario and go to Browsing > Web activity, then hit Next. Then, select whether you’d like to get an extension for Safari or Chrome and follow the on-screen instructions.

      You can install the Clario extension for Safari 10.x. or later and Google Chrome 65 or later.

    • How do I disable ad blocking for a specific website?

      Chrome: To allow ads on a specific website, please click the extension icon in the top-right corner, select We've blocked X ads and switch the On for this website toggle off so it becomes gray. Then hit Refresh to see changes.

    • How do I add a website to the whitelist?

      This option is only available for Google Chrome. So, if you feel like you can trust thet website, we won't check the URL if you notify us about its status. To do so, open the particular website you trust and:

      1. Hit the Clario extension icon in the top-right corner of Chrome
      2. Click the Trust this website option at the bottom
      3. Hit Refresh to see changes

      The Safe browsing feature will be turned off for this website.

    • Why can’t I visit some of my websites when the extension is on?

      Some websites might ask you to disable our extension to display their content. This happens as many websites earn money by showing you ads. This is not necessarily bad, it’s a way for the website to monetize content to exist and allow you to use it. If this is a website you regularly visit, you can turn off our extension and keep on reading your favorite content. The choice is totally yours.
