MyPay is a useful tool for managing your tax records and making sure your retirement or annuitant pay is correct. Here’s how you can access myPay, even if you’ve forgotten your password.

If you only log in once a year to get your 1099-R, it can be frustrating to find your password has expired or been lost. The good news is reactivating your account is easy, so it’s best to do it now before tax season arrives.

myPay Account Access

Go to the myPay website and click on the “Forgot or Need a Password?” link to reset your password. You’ll need two pieces of information, like your registered email, Social Security number, or Login ID. If you’ve set up security questions, you’ll be asked to answer them. If your answers are correct, you can change your password right away.

Don’t worry If you’ve forgotten the answers to your security questions or haven’t set them up. You can request a temporary password. This can either be mailed to your home address or sent via text to your registered mobile number. Once you receive the temporary password, log back into myPay, and you’ll be all set.
