00:00:11.033 --> 00:00:13.133
Hello and welcome to TreasuryDirect.

2
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:16.267
Do you need to reset
your TreasuryDirect password?

3
00:00:16.667 --> 00:00:18.167
This video will walk you

4
00:00:18.167 --> 00:00:21.200
through the process
of resetting your TreasuryDirect password

5
00:00:21.434 --> 00:00:24.267
from both outside your account
and from within.

6
00:00:25.067 --> 00:00:28.667
If you do not remember
your current password, you can reset it

7
00:00:28.667 --> 00:00:32.934
from the Password screen
by clicking the Forgot Your Password link.

8
00:00:34.234 --> 00:00:37.268
TreasuryDirect will start by offering you
your password

9
00:00:37.268 --> 00:00:40.235
reminder that you created
when you set up the password.

10
00:00:40.901 --> 00:00:43.735
If the password reminder helps
you remember your password,

11
00:00:43.968 --> 00:00:47.502
you can click the Yes button
to go back and enter your password.

12
00:00:48.035 --> 00:00:48.868
If, however,

13
00:00:48.868 --> 00:00:52.768
you still do not remember your password
or wish to continue the process

14
00:00:52.768 --> 00:00:56.235
to create a new password,
you will click the No button.

15
00:00:57.502 --> 00:00:59.469
In order to reset your password,

16
00:00:59.469 --> 00:01:03.469
TreasuryDirect will begin a process
to verify you and your account.

17
00:01:04.069 --> 00:01:08.869
The first step in the process is to verify
your Taxpayer Identification Number,

18
00:01:09.136 --> 00:01:12.469
which would be a Social Security Number
for Individual Accounts

19
00:01:12.736 --> 00:01:15.703
or a Social Security Number or

20
00:01:15.703 --> 00:01:19.036
Employer Identification Number for Entity Accounts.

21
00:01:19.570 --> 00:01:22.803
Once you have entered your
Taxpayer Identification Number,

22
00:01:22.803 --> 00:01:27.803
click the Blue Continue button to move
to the next step. To further verify you,

23
00:01:28.203 --> 00:01:29.303
the system will ask

24
00:01:29.303 --> 00:01:33.137
the three security questions
you set up when you created the account.

25
00:01:34.437 --> 00:01:36.770
The answers are not case sensitive,

26
00:01:37.004 --> 00:01:40.604
nor do they require spaces,
commas, or periods,

27
00:01:40.971 --> 00:01:44.271
but they do need to be spelled
the same way you spelled them

28
00:01:44.271 --> 00:01:46.204
when you set them up.

29
00:01:46.204 --> 00:01:48.638
Once you have answered
your three questions,

30
00:01:48.638 --> 00:01:51.704
click the Blue Submit button
to continue forward.

31
00:01:52.504 --> 00:01:54.838
If you answer your three questions
correctly,

32
00:01:55.038 --> 00:01:57.171
you will be able to create a new password.

33
00:01:58.338 --> 00:02:01.538
Your password must be a minimum
of twelve (12) characters,

34
00:02:01.872 --> 00:02:04.605
will be case sensitive,

35
00:02:04.605 --> 00:02:07.538
and may contain letters, numbers,

36
00:02:07.705 --> 00:02:11.805
or special characters,
as shown on the screen.

37
00:02:12.705 --> 00:02:15.539
If you wish to verify the password
you created,

38
00:02:15.772 --> 00:02:19.172
Click the eye icon next to the Password field.

39
00:02:19.906 --> 00:02:24.706
You will need to verify your new password
by retyping in the Confirmation field.

40
00:02:25.906 --> 00:02:28.673
You will also create a new Password
Reminder.

41
00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:33.240
This reminder will be used
if you forget your password in the future.

42
00:02:34.306 --> 00:02:36.240
Once you click the Blue Submit

43
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.140
button,
you will return to the Password Screen

44
00:02:39.407 --> 00:02:42.540
where you can enter your new password
to log into your account.

45
00:02:44.140 --> 00:02:48.074
If you wish to reset your password
from within your TreasuryDirect account,

46
00:02:48.407 --> 00:02:53.407
you will navigate to the ManageDirect tab.
On the left side of the screen

47
00:02:53.674 --> 00:02:56.241
you will see the Change Your Password link.

48
00:02:56.807 --> 00:03:00.407
Click on that link, then
answer the security question to proceed.

49
00:03:01.274 --> 00:03:04.008
After you have clicked the Submit button,
you will be able

50
00:03:04.008 --> 00:03:06.808
to create a new password
and password reminder.

51
00:03:07.308 --> 00:03:08.541
And that's it.

52
00:03:08.541 --> 00:03:11.941
That is how to reset your
password in TreasuryDirect.
