How to Change EPF Passbook Password?

The EPF passbook password is the password used to access your Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) passbook online. This password is the same as your UAN (Universal Account Number) login password. It allows you to view contributions, balances, and withdrawals associated with your EPF account.

Who Needs an EPF Passbook Password

You need a passbook password if you:

• Have a UAN (Universal Account Number) issued by EPFO
• Want to view your EPF balance and contribution history online
• Need to download or track your EPF passbook

Key Features of EPF Passbook Password

• Linked to UAN: The password is the same as your UAN portal login
• Secure Access: Protects your EPF account from unauthorized access
• View Contributions: Allows you to check monthly deposits from your employer
• Download Passbook: Lets you download or print your EPF passbook for records

How EPF Passbook Password Differs from UAN

Your UAN is a permanent number that links all your Member IDs across jobs. The passbook password is the credential used to log in and access your account. Resetting your UAN password automatically updates your passbook password.

Step-by-Step Process to Change Your EPF Passbook Password

1. Visit UAN Member Portal
   Go to UAN Member Portal and click Forgot Password.
2. Enter Details
   Input your 12-digit UAN and captcha code.
3. Verify Identity
   Enter your name, date of birth, KYC details (Aadhaar, PAN, or bank account), and submit the OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
4. Set a New Password
   Create a secure new password and confirm it.
5. Wait for Sync
   Wait for at least 6 hours before logging into the EPF passbook portal to ensure your new password is synchronized.
6. Login to Passbook Portal
   Visit the EPF Passbook website, enter your UAN, new password, and captcha to access your passbook.

Tips for Managing Your EPF Passbook Password
