You can also try this:
- uninstall the app
- turn the device off and back on (to reset background processes)
- re-install the app from Google play
- open the Avast Mobile Security app
- tap the "three-lines icon" in the upper left corner to bring the menu
- in the menu roll down and tap on "Avast Account"
- select exactly the same method for login you use on the page https://my.avast.com (Login with Google, Facebook, or E-mail)
- follow on-screen instructions to link the app to your My Avast Account

Hi Bijin, have you tried the procedure from Reply #2? It is important to go through all its steps, including turning the device off and on again after uninstalling the app.

OK then, are you able to log in to your account on https://my.avast.com

What form of login do you use? (E-mail, Google, Facebook)

Then try this, please:
1) uninstall ALL Avast apps (remove the Avast Antivirus from Device Administrators first)
2) check there is no "Avast" in your device Settings → Accounts
3) remove the device from the Avast My Account
4) only then install the Avast apps back and log them back in the My Account
