Member portal
UAN login on the official EPFO member portal
यूएएन लॉगिन
Last reviewed: 11 November 2026
UAN login means signing in to the official EPFO Unified Member Portal with the 12-digit Universal Account Number and the password that belongs to it. The address is unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/. This page describes that login and the ways it is abused. It has no username field and no password field.
The official login address
Type the address or use a bookmark you created yourself. The host is unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in. A domain that merely contains the letters “epfo” or “uan” is not the portal. The passbook is a second official host, passbook.epfindia.gov.in, and it uses the same UAN and password once you are activated. UMANG is the official app. The organisation site is epfindia.gov.in. Four doors, four real names. Everything else can wait.
| Door | Use it for | Do not use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Member portal | Password, KYC, Know Your UAN, transfer, claims, e-nomination | Generating a new UAN. That has moved to UMANG. |
| Passbook host | The statement, and the missed-call and SMS numbers printed on it | Activation, or any “fee” to view a balance |
| UMANG | Allotment and activation by face authentication, and passbook services after that | A password you share with a shopkeeper |
| 14470 | The helpdesk printed on the member-portal notice | A number that called you first and then asked for an OTP |
What you need
You need an activated UAN and a password. Activation is no longer a button on this portal. The notice on the portal says activation and direct allotment have been discontinued, and it sends members to UMANG. PIB Release ID 2120326 describes the face-authentication steps and says the UAN is auto-activated on the member portal after a successful match. If you have never done that, start at activation, not at the password box.
If you do not remember the twelve digits, do not guess them into a login form and lock yourself out. Use Know Your UAN on the same official portal. If the employer can read the number from the challan, that is also fine.
Forgot password
The member portal has its own forgot-password path. Use that. It will authenticate you in whatever way the current official screen requires, usually against the mobile number or Aadhaar already on the account. Completing a similar form on any other site gives the password, or the OTP that resets it, to someone else.
A temporary password, if the official SMS sends one, should be changed on the portal immediately and not forwarded. Store it in a password manager if you use one. Do not store it in a photograph of your e-UAN card that you then upload somewhere.
UMANG as another official door
UMANG is not a rival login invented by a company. It is the government app EPFO now uses for allotment and activation, and PIB Release ID 2120326 says passbook viewing, KYC and claims are available after activation. Install UMANG and AadhaarFaceRD from the official stores. The department page is the UMANG EPFO landing. Face authentication inside UMANG is how a UAN is generated. It is not something to hand to a person at a photocopy shop so they can “do login”.
Calls, OTPs and paid agents
The passbook login page, version 1.2.28 dated 1 November 2026, tells members never to share Aadhaar, PAN, bank details or an OTP. It says EPFO never calls members or pensioners asking them to deposit any amount. PIB Release ID 2136592 says the services, including claim filing, transfers, KYC and grievances, are free, and it warns against paying cybercafés and unauthorised agents. Those two official statements cover the usual script: a caller knows part of your name, asks for an OTP “to update KYC” or “to release the PF”, and then asks for a fee.
Hang up. Open the portal yourself. If you want a human, dial 14470. Grievances go to EPFiGMS or CPGRAMS, not to a WhatsApp number that arrived in a forward. Nothing on this website can “unlock” a portal that you have been locked out of. Only the official forgot-password flow can.
After you sign in
The useful order, once the password works, is short. Confirm KYC, especially the bank account, which no longer needs employer approval as of April 2025. File or update the e-nomination. The portal notice says nomination is mandatory under the EPF Scheme, 2026. Open the passbook and see whether the latest month is there. If you have changed jobs, file a transfer rather than a withdrawal. If you are considering a claim, read paragraphs 46 and 49 on the withdrawal page before you submit one. The interest on the balance you see is explained by the calculator, which does not need you to stay logged in anywhere.
After a reset, sign out of any shared computer and sign in once more, just to confirm the new password works before you start a claim. The portal session is yours. A printout of the password next to the UAN is how shared-shop logins go wrong. If the portal shows a captcha or an extra OTP, complete it on that page and nowhere else. The same caution applies to the passbook host, which reuses the password but is a different website.

Frequently asked questions
What is the official UAN login address?
The Unified Member Portal is https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/. That is the login for KYC, claims, transfer, Know Your UAN and e-nomination. The passbook is a different host, passbook.epfindia.gov.in. UMANG is the app for allotment and activation. epfindia.gov.in is the organisation website. Any other address is not the login.
What do I need before the password will work?
An activated UAN and the password set on the member portal. If the UAN was never activated, the portal activation form has been discontinued. Activate on UMANG with Aadhaar face authentication first, as described in PIB Release ID 2120326. If you do not remember the twelve digits, use Know Your UAN on the portal rather than guessing.
How do I reset a forgotten password?
Use the forgot-password link on the official member portal and complete whatever authentication that page asks for. Do not use a copied form on another website. Do not read the OTP to anyone who calls. The passbook login page says EPFO never calls members or pensioners to ask for a deposit, and it says members should not share an OTP.
Is UMANG a second login?
UMANG is an official app, and after activation it can reach passbook, KYC and claim services. It is not a private shortcut. Install it from the official store. The face-authentication service inside it is how new UANs are generated. It does not replace the member-portal password for the browser login.
Someone called and asked for an OTP to “update the login”. What should I do?
End the call. EPFO services are free, according to PIB Release ID 2136592, and the passbook page says the organisation does not call to demand money or an OTP. Sign in yourself at the official address, or call helpdesk 14470 from a number you dial. Do not pay a cybercafé to log in for you.
