New Guide to Reset SSS Password in 2 Minutes, If You Forgot It!

Here is the step-by-step guide to reset your SSS Password and recover your Username through online if you forgot them. You only need 2 minutes to do the steps assuming you have at least 2 of the 3 requirements that the SSS website will ask you to help recover your password.

According to the requirements, your sss password should contain 8 to 20 alphabetical and numerical characters. The first character is an alphabet. Also, special symbols such as Hash, Asterisk, Dollar, or Percent are not allowed. Your chosen password must not be the same as your User ID. The perfect example of an SSS Password is AbcSSSd10. It has 9 alphanumeric characters. The first letter is an alphabet and it has no special symbols.

SSS has a security feature that will automatically disable access to your online account. If you or an unauthorized person input the wrong password 5 consecutive times resulting in multiple failed logins. If this happens, you need to reset your SSS Password to gain access to your account.

To do so, you need to have either your SS Number or your CRN. Aside from that, you also need to remember the valid email address that you use when you create your SSS account.

4 Easy Steps to Change or Reset SSS Password if You Forgot it

Step 1: Visit the SSS official website

Visit the sss.gov.ph home page then proceed to the member portal. On the left-hand side, you will see the member login. Below the Sign In button, you will see the “Forgot User ID or Password link.”

Step 2: Go to Forgot User ID or Password link

SSS has two ways to recover your user id or password. You can either choose to reset it using your registered email address or by answering the two security questions. If you choose the latter then you do not need to provide your email address.

registered email address or answer security questions

Select from the two choices then type your 12-digit CRN (Common Reference Number) or your 10-digit SS number on the space provided. Select only one because you cannot input both at the same time.

Also, type the respective numbers excluding the dash (-). Otherwise, it will result in an error.

To give you an idea. Here is what you will do if you choose to reset your password via “My registered email address.”

Afterward, type in the captcha code on the given field. The code is case sensitive so type the exact word as it will result in an invalid captcha if you did not input the appropriate case for each character.

On the other hand, here is what you will do if you choose to reset your password via “Security Questions.” Also, you do not need an email if you choose the latter.
answers to security questionsNote: If you choose to reset your password by answering security questions then skip step 3 and proceed immediately to step 4.

Step 3: Check your Email for Notification to Reset SSS Password

After a few minutes, you need to check your email address (the one you used to register your SSS number online) for the password reset request link. The link is good for one-time use and is valid for 120 hours only. You do not need to reply to the email as it is system-generated.

Note: You will do this step if you choose to recover your password using your registered email address

Step 4: View Your User ID, then Type your New Password

As you notice, SSS also shows your forgotten User ID. You only need to type in your new preferred password in the first appropriate space. Confirm your password by typing it again on the second appropriate space.

Log in with your SSS Online Account using your new password and check your email for the notification that you have successfully updated your password. Congratulations!

How to Keep Your SSS User ID and Password Safe?

Due to tons of online application that requires login information, you sometimes forgot to keep track of all your usernames and passwords. The good news is there are ways to keep all of them safe and secure.

For SSS user ID and password, in particular, I would suggest that you write them down at the back of your SS form E-1, or on a piece of paper. Write also your email and password you use to register your account, including your sss password expiration date. In that way, you will know when to update your login details. What you need to do next is to put them in a safe and secure part of your house.

Alternatively, you can make a folder where you collate all of your important documents. So that if you forgot your login details again, you can easily retrieve it back without any hassle.
This suggestion may be unimportant.

However, doing this is a lot easier than visiting any government branch in the Philippines because you forgot your permanent membership numbers or login details. Just like you, I occasionally forgot my email, my SSS user ID, and password. However, I’ve finally learned my lesson and decided to write everything on a piece of paper.

What is SS Number and Where to find it?

SSS Number is a lifetime membership number issued by the Social Security System. The latter is a government institution in the Philippines in charge of the social insurance program of privately employed personnel, and those who are in the informal sectors working as self-employed, and voluntary members.

If you are already an SSS member, you can check the copy of your SS E-1 form. You can find your number on the upper left side.

If for some reason, you also forget your SSS number then, I suggest you visit any SSS branch near your location to help you retrieve it. Just bring a company or government-issued IDs to help the SS personnel validate your identity quickly.

Do you need assistance in recovering your SSS information?

You can send an email to onlineserviceassistance@sss.gov.ph for assistance. Indicate your complete name, birth date, SS number, or CRN (common reference number).

  • coco

    Hi! Not sure if there was an update to SSS’s website, but instead of asking for the CRN/SSS number, they’re asking for Employer/HR number. Tried inputting my CRN and SSS number anyways but neither of them worked.

    • Matt

      Hi Coco, I think they are updating their website and are currently dedicated only to employers to apply for the Small Business Wage Subsidy (SBWS) program on behalf of their employees. You can register your existing SSS number online after they enable other members to access their website.

    I don’t know how did you do it but Ive been able to reset my passwords before. I emailed them a month a go and for the reason the system always prompts INVALID even if I did the exact same procedure. No one in SSS would reply to me regarding this so it has been a month that I am not able to check my account.

      Hi Anj E, you can give it a try now. SSS website now is a lot better as compared before. Follow the written instruction, or watch the video.

  • Nelson V. Constantino

    Matt,

    I only have my old SSS ID (the blue one) and was not yet able to secure the new UMID ID. I’m trying to register online to get access to my account and apply for emergency loan. However, in registering my password, I cant get through because I am asked to fill out an entry with my CRN number which I dont have with my old SSS ID. {;ease help.

    Nelsom

    • Matt

      The alternative way sir is to visit the sss branch. They can assist you in enrolling your account online.

  • D'jaie baluyut

    Hi po . Ask ko lang yung FIRST NAME kopo kasi ay D’Jaie may apothrope po siya. Pag nagreregister po ako ay bawal po lagyan ng aposthrope yung name . E yun po ang nakaregister sa sss ko . At napa check kona rin . Ano po maganda gawin . Ayaw po kasi tanggapin ng system yung apostrophe.

    • Matt

      It is better to visit any sss branch near you so they assist you properly. The sss online login page is computer-assisted. It is possible that in online, it is not allowed to include an apostrophe in the member’s name po.

  • Mae tupas

    Hi po paano po kapag di na active yung email na nakalagay sa sss info kopo ..? Di po kase ako makapasok sa my sss dahil iba napo ang email ko.. thanks po sana may response

    • Matt

      Hi Mae, you need to visit the sss branch for them to help you update your email address registered to their database.

      • Wendy

  • Leamay

    Hello po diko po mabuksan ang account ko kasi yung ginamit ko na email/gmail diko na din mabuksan kaya diko po na rereceive ang email ng sss pag nag papalit ako ng password

    • Matt

      Hi Leamay, I think the best way since you can’t retrieve the password for the email is to visit the sss branch near you. The personnel in SSS will assist you to change your email address used and also will help you update your ss password.

  • GASPOINT MECHANICAL

    I already reset my sss password, but when i log in it again its invalid. How can i recover my sss password?

  • Mary

    Hello po, what happened to SSS website this days? Forgot password cannot be accessed, it just says, “An error occurred. Please try again” and there is no link to change password sent to the email address. Security questions are accessible but, we still haven’t set up any security question. Do you think there are still any options to change password aside from going to the sss branch? thank you.

    • Matt

      Hi Mary, SSS is probably upgrading its website to make it more efficient and fast.
