How to make the most of your myID.
Published 13 November 2024
myID is a convenient and secure way to access a wide range of government online services. Here’s our top tips to help you make the most of your myID:
- Use a personal email address – myID is your personal Digital ID and you need ongoing access, so don’t use a shared or work email address. You can update your email in the myID app at any time.
- Select ’Remember me’ to log in faster. This way, you won’t need to enter your email each time you log in and the 4-digit code will be pre-filled in your app.
- Use the security features in your device, such as face or fingerprint recognition, to log in. To enable this, turn on biometric functions in your device Settings and in your myID app.
- Stay informed by turning on push notifications in your app to receive notifications and alerts.
- Forgot your password? Select I forgot my password on your myID app login screen and follow the prompts to recover your myID.
- Increase your identity strength to better protect your myID and access more online services.
- Keep your myID details up to date. This ensures your information is accurate and that you have ongoing access to your app.
