Steps to Change Password of UAN website if Mobile number is not changed in Detail
The UAN is a 12-digit number allotted to each Employee Provident Fund member by the Employee Provident Fund Organization(EPFO) which gives him control of his EPF account and minimizes the role of employer. UAN acts as an umbrella for the multiple Employee Provident Fund Numbers or Member Ids allotted to an individual by different employers. The idea is to link multiple Employee Provident Fund Number of a person to single Universal Account Number. Our article UAN or Universal Account Number and Registration of UAN discusses it in detail.

i am trying to change the password i have given password as xyz@123
and confirm password as xyz@123 it is not validating at all
“The Password should contain minimum 7 characters and Maximum 20 characters. Minimum 4 alphabets, minimum 2 digits, 1 special character. At least one character out of 4 alphabets should be Capital and one small letter. ” You have given only 3 alphabets when you need to give minimum 4 alphabets out of which one should be capital. This is the reason for not validating. You can try Wxyz@123 as password.

Hello Sir/Madam
HELPLESSSSSS !! 🙁 🙁
I am need of your help very badly for the below 2 issues.I tried contacting customer care but they never seem to respond.Luckily,this site came to my rescue.
>>> I wanted to transfer my PF from one employer to another,so I started off by logging into EPFO site and checking eligibility, but got the below error
“SINCE PREVIOUS ESTABLISHMENT ID IS NOT REGISTERED IN THE PORTAL,YOU WILl NOT BE ABLE TO TRANSFER CLAIM ONLINE”. What should i do about this sir/madam?
>Next i wanted to check if my PF ACCOUNT exists in UAN site,Unfortunately i do not know my password.I proceeded by clicking on FORGOT PASSWORD and CHANGING MOBILE NUMBER(as the number was incorrect).This attempt was unsuccessful as well,i got an error as MEMBER VERIFICATION FAILED. What should i do about this sir/madam?
It really sucks to know that government is not taking any steps on such important sites and there is no proper customer care.
Hope i find a solution for the issues atleast here.
Thanks in advance 🙂
