What’s Happening?
Symantec, as a result of Broadcom Inc. acquiring its Enterprise Security Business in November 2019 (Press Release), has upgraded its Identity Provider (IDP). All Symantec accounts that used Norton Secure Login (NSL) until now will use Broadcom's Identity Provider (Okta) to log in to Symantec Product Portals. Therefore, all Symantec accounts are being migrated to Broadcom’s IDP. You will notice changes to your login when you access Symantec Product Portals after your account is migrated.
This article provides information on how you can access Symantec Product Portals, after this account migration.
