How do I change my password if I forgot it?

Level 15

By using the method described above.  Here's more info:

 

You can have up to 5 accounts that use the same email address for notification purposes.  A User ID may be an email address, but it doesn't have to be.  It might be only part of an email address, or it can be anything at all.

 

To get a list of your User IDs, reset password, and recover account access, you can use the tool at the link below.  Try using your phone number first.   After that, if necessary, then run the tool on your email address(es) you can access.

NOTE: Before running the account recovery tool below, log out of all Intuit accounts including this user forum, or you might end up in a loop.  Then clear your browser Internet cache, close your browser, then reopen it, and go to the link below.  You may wish to copy this link so you can paste it into the new browser session.

If still no luck after running that on your phone number and email address(es) that you can access,  here's another method:

Go back to the tool again, but this time leave the data field blank, and choose the small blue link that says "Try something else", and it will look you up by SSN and other parameters.

If you're locked out because of too many attempts, I believe that is "supposed" to last an hour.   Follow the steps I outlined in my instructions above for using the Account Recovery tool above including the method I provided to clear your browser.   My info above has 2 different ways to reset a password and gain access.

 

If you continue to have problems, here's how to reach TurboTax Support.
