I have the same issue. I can log in to AVG AnitVirus on mac but not the AVG Cleaner. I can log in to all of the windows products and website, same password for all but I get the same message as Chantelle on the AVG Cleaner that "email and password don't match". Do you have an ETA yet?

I just bought a subscription today since I could use this on my PC as well as my MAC. But I can't login to the AVG Cleaner on MAC, it gives the same error. Is this ever going to be fixed?

This is a paid feature/module, so it can't be that waiting for a solutions takes so much time. I want a refund or discount, or better a time extend for my membership because the feature doesn't work on my Mac iOS device. So for all users patience is comming to an end! 

I suggest you do better fort your customers. I expect a durations of the memebership as I orderded after the bug fix.

Hello Karthikeyan,

I also encounter same issue. May I know when this issue will be fixed? When will be the next version of AVG.

Thanks.

Hello David,

We do not know the exact time frame, but once the official update is released, the program will automatically update on your device.

Your patience is much appreciated.

100% same issue here.

I'm a bit amazed that you still haven't solved this - it's been active for over 6 months. Please, give us even the ETA for the "next release". That's the least you can do now.

Hello Jassu,
I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused. There is no benefits when log in to my-account for AVG Cleaner, as AVG Zen has been removed for the Mac devices. Your AVG programs (AVG Antivirus/Cleaner) is/will be working fine without signing in to AVG MyAccount.
Best regards,
Alok.
Jassu LaivuoriJassu Laivuori
So AVG cleaner does not need any license to work?
AvinashAvinash (Avast) 
No, Jassu.

You can continue using the app irrespective of logging in with AVG MyAccount email address and password.

Still not fixed, i downloaded the Cleaner app from the App Store and it says my email/password doesn't match. It's messed up that this is going to take maybe 10 years before it gets fixed and that reminded me why i stopped using AVG products many years ago.

January 2019 and I am having this same problem. Any idea when the bug will be fixed? 

Side note: I am able to use the cleaner app without logging in, however I would like my account to recognze the tuneup has been done and give me the green light for this mac like it does with the PC.

Thanks!

Hello Gerald, 
We removed AVG Zen so it's not possible to sign in on AVG Cleaner. 
Your AVG programs (AVG Antivirus/Cleaner) is/will be working fine without signing in to AVG MyAccount. 
AVG Internet Security Unlimited and Tuneup Unlimited can  be installed on multiple Windows and Android devices. 
For Mac, we have only free version of AVG Antivirus & AVG Cleaner.

Same. March 2020 still not working. Wish AVG removed the option to avoid the confusion.

Hi Salvador, 

In light of the current circumstances concerning Covid-19 outbreak, there was a delay. Hope you're well.  
We're glad to clarify this for you. AVG Cleaner for MAC has been modified into AVG TuneUp Premium for MAC. If you require assistance regarding activation process, we request you to write back to us in your own/individual post. This will reveal your email address to us & we'll be able to check the product details in your account. Thank you for your understanding in advance!
