How do I reset/unlock/change my IEEE Account Password?

You can reset your IEEE Account password by selecting "Forgot Password." You will be asked to provide your name, and email or member number. Your first and last name must match your account exactly. You will have the option of answering your security question if you have one, or receiving a verification code via email or phone.

If you are an IEEE Member please do not create a new account as it will not link to your membership or renewal bill.

If you have not updated your username to an email address, please contact IEEE for assistance. The link to submit a question is at the top of this page.
 

As part of the IEEE Account security, you have 6 attempts to provide the correct email address and password when signing in. When you enter incorrect information the first time, a warning will be shown advising that you have 5 attempts remaining. After 6 unsuccessful attempts, your account will become temporarily locked for 60 minutes for your protection. If you can not remember your password, please see "Reset Forgotten Password" above.

You can change your current password by signing in to your IEEE Account Profile, selecting "Profile" option and then clicking on "Email Address and Password". If you cannot remember your password, please see "Reset Password" above.

For security reasons, passwords:
- Are case sensitive
- Must contain between 8 and 64 characters
- Must contain a combination of alpha and numeric characters
- Cannot contain the term "password"
