EPFO Password- If you have forgotten your PF (Provident Fund-PF) UAN number, you can generate it again. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) issues Universal Account Number (UAN) of PF, which is a 12-digit identification number. The company and the employee deposit money for PF on this 12-digit identification number. Your identity number does not change even if you change jobs. The new company deposits the PF money by issuing the same number further. Let us know how to generate a password.

The password should be like this

The new UAN login password can be a minimum of 20 letters long. It should contain at least four letters, two digits and one special character. It should contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter.

4. Click on the ‘Verify’ button.
5. An OTP (One Time Password) will be sent to your registered mobile number.
6. Enter the OTP and click on ‘Verify’.

That’s it! Your password will be reset successfully. You can now login to the EPF passbook using your new password. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization  is working on the process of issuing a Universal Account Number (UAN) for its members on a single basis. Its purpose is to simplify the process of withdrawing funds from PF. This will ensure that there will be no two UAN numbers when an employee leaves the job or gets another job.

UAN was implemented by EPFO ​​with a very ambitious objective. Under this system, a UAN is issued to the employee. If a member leaves one job and joins another, he only has to give his UAN number at the new place. After that the amount of the old PF account is transferred to the new account, but it has been seen that two or more UAN numbers are issued in the name of one member. In such a situation, when the employee applies for PF withdrawal, the system does not know from which account he is claiming the withdrawal of funds. In such a situation, many times the claim gets rejected or the withdrawal takes a lot of time.
