How do I reset an AT&T account PIN online?
Answer
Sign in at the official AT&T website or app, open the account profile or security settings, and use AT&T’s PIN or passcode reset options with the verification method on file. If sign-in itself fails, recover the AT&T user ID or password first, then change the PIN.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Stop if a site or popup asks you to pay to unlock an AT&T account or install unknown software.
Follow these steps
Open official AT&T account sign-in
Go to att.com or open the official AT&T app and sign in with your AT&T user ID. If you cannot sign in, use AT&T’s forgot user ID or forgot password flow first.
You should see: You reach your AT&T account home or the recovery path for your user ID.
Find the account PIN or passcode settings
Open profile, account, or security settings and look for Account PIN, passcode, or similar AT&T security options. Choose the official change or reset action shown there.
You should see: AT&T prompts you to verify your identity before changing the PIN.
Complete AT&T’s verification step
Approve the email, text, or security-question challenge tied to the account. Enter only codes that arrive from AT&T while you are in that reset screen.
You should see: AT&T accepts verification and lets you create a new account PIN.
Set and confirm the new PIN
Create a new PIN that meets AT&T’s rules, confirm it, and save the change. Sign out and back in or reopen the PIN setting once to confirm the update stuck.
You should see: The new AT&T account PIN works for account changes that require it.
Contact AT&T if verification methods are unavailable
If you cannot receive email or texts to the contacts on file, use AT&T’s official support chat or phone support from att.com to verify the account owner and reset the PIN.
You should see: AT&T verifies ownership through an official channel and restores PIN access.

What to look for: myAT&T sign-in, account PIN or passcode settings, and verification by email, text, or security questions
Before you change anything: Use only att.com or the official AT&T app. Have access to the email or mobile number already on the AT&T account. Write down the new PIN somewhere private after you change it. Never share the AT&T PIN or one-time codes with unexpected callers.
