how did you safely enroll in McAfee identity theft protection offered by T-Mobile to its customers affected by data breach?

T-Mobile website says to request the offered McAfee coverage and await an email from McAfee with link to Complete Enrollment Now.  An email is sitting in my spam filter from xggrrpdjrvhtddjbsgrtdbvcrcscsgtjbskphpl@mail.idtheftprotection.mcafee.com but I don't know whether it is safe.  If you used used a link in an email from this address, were you able to set up the offered McAfee id theft protection through it?  thanks for any help.

 

 

Yes, that link is specific to you (the front past of the email before the "@" so I wouldn't be advertising it. Mine also arrived in my spam folder (two for two lines) and I have successfully enrolled. Any changes you make will also trigger an email from the domain "mail.idtheftprotection.mcafee.com".

From one such email:
