New Delhi, May 3: Forgetting your Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) passbook password can be frustrating, but there’s no need to worry. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has streamlined the password reset process, allowing users to regain access to their PF balance and transaction details with ease. By following a few straightforward steps, you can reset your password quickly and securely, ensuring seamless access to your account.

To begin, visit the official EPFO website at https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in. On the homepage, locate and click the ‘Forgot Password’ option. Enter your Universal Account Number (UAN) and carefully fill in the displayed captcha code. Upon submission, an OTP will be sent to your registered mobile number. Enter the OTP in the provided field, and you’ll be prompted to set a new password. Type your new password, confirm it, and click ‘Submit.’ According to EPFO guidelines, the password must be at least eight characters long, including letters, numbers, and a special character for enhanced security.

While resetting your password, ensure your mobile number is registered with your UAN. If it has changed, update it beforehand to avoid delays. Choosing a strong, unique password is crucial to safeguarding your account. Once completed, you can log in to your EPF passbook with the new password and access your financial details effortlessly.

This user-friendly process saves time and empowers EPF members to manage their accounts confidently. Experts recommend updating passwords regularly and storing them securely to protect sensitive financial information. With these simple steps, EPFO ensures that technical glitches don’t hinder your ability to stay connected with your provident fund savings.
