Resetting your EDGAR passphrase is a straightforward process. A security token will be sent to the EDGAR contact email address registered on the EDGAR system. Follow the provided instruction to use the token to create a new passphrase.
Users must have access to the EDGAR contact email on file in EDGAR to use this process. If you do not, login to the SEC’s website and check/update if needed. If you are unsure how to login, we are happy to login for you, and provide the POC and update if necessary. Please send a request to do so to edgarnext@dfinsolutions.com with your CIK and CCC, and who you would like your POC to be (Name, Business Address, Email Address, and Phone are required).
- On the EDGAR Management Website, with Login.gov credentials.
- Select Enroll in EDGAR Next. Select Passphrase Reset.
- In the dropdown, select Request a passphrase reset token.
- Enter the CIK of the EDGAR account that requires a new passphrase.
- Enter a "Reason for Update" (e.g., forgot my passphrase), and select Request Token.
- Within a few minutes, you should receive an email containing a security token will be sent to the contact email address on file for the CIK.
- Return to Enroll in EDGAR Next, select Passphrase Reset, then select Reset Passphrase in the popup window.
- Manually type the CIK and security token from the email sent to the EDGAR POC and create a new passphrase.
The new passphrase must be exactly eight (8) characters. It also must contain one of these four (4) special characters - @, #, $, * - and at least one number and one letter. - Type the passphrase again to confirm and then select Reset Passphrase.
- Make sure the new access codes are saved in a secure location. Filers will need the passphrase to enroll in EDGAR Next.
- Once a CIK has been enrolled in EDGAR Next, the use of passphrase is discontinued.
EDGAR will return an accession number to confirm your passphrase has been updated.
