EDD Account Login Issues: Forgot Password for Disability Claim - Help Needed

I had the same issue last month. Tried resetting my password but kept getting an error. Ended up having to call them and wait on hold for 3 hours. It was a nightmare.

No worries, it happens to the best of us! Here's what you need to do: 1. Go to the EDD website 2. Click on 'Forgot Password' 3. Enter your email address 4. Check your email for a reset link 5. Create a new password Make sure you have access to the email associated with your account. If you don't, you might need to call them directly. Good luck!

tldr for everyone: EDD website sucks, passwords are hard, we're all in the same sinking boat 🚢💦

Anyone else feel like we're living in a dystopian novel? Having to jump through hoops just to access our own information... 🤔

Guys, I found a method to get someone on the phone quickly. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the URL: https://claimyr.com

ugh, EDD's website is such a nightmare. I swear they make it difficult on purpose 🤬

Pro tip: use a password manager! I use LastPass and never forget my passwords anymore. It's a lifesaver for all these government sites with their crazy password requirements.

To answer your question, if you're having trouble logging into your EDD account due to a forgotten password, you can follow a few steps. First, visit the EDD website and use the 'Forgot Password' feature to reset it. Make sure you have access to the email address linked to your account, as you will receive a reset link there. If you can't access your email, contacting EDD by phone becomes necessary, though it might involve long wait times. Alternatively, some users have tried services like Claimyr, which reportedly reduce on-hold time, although they do come with a cost. Ensure you read reviews and understand their operations before proceeding. For those keen on avoiding password issues in the future, using a secure password manager might be beneficial. Lastly, consider reaching out to EDD via social media channels like Twitter, which can sometimes offer more prompt responses than traditional methods.

I'm in the same boat, been trying to reset my password for days. This whole system is a joke. Anyone know if there's a class action lawsuit we can join? 🤡

Unpopular opinion: The system is working exactly as intended. They make it difficult so fewer people claim benefits. Stay woke, people 👀

Hey OP, just a heads up - when you do get through to reset your password, make sure it's super secure. I've heard stories of people's accounts getting hacked. Use a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols!

Have you tried contacting them on social media? Sometimes their Twitter support is more responsive than phone or email.

Hey OP, don't forget to check your spam folder for the password reset email. Sometimes they end up there!

Plot twist: what if OP is actually an EDD employee trying to figure out how to log in to do their job? 🤯

PSA: If anyone else is struggling with EDD issues, there's a great Facebook group called 'EDD Unofficial Help Group' with tons of resources and people sharing their experiences. It's been a lifesaver for me!

Have you tried turning it off and on again? 🤣

I just went through this exact same situation last week! Here's what worked for me: First, try the password reset option on the EDD website, but if that doesn't work (which happened to me), don't panic. I called the EDD technical support line at (833) 978-2511 - it's specifically for account issues, not general claims. The wait was still long (about 2 hours), but shorter than the main line. They were able to unlock my account and help me reset the password over the phone. Make sure you have your Social Security number, date of birth, and the last 4 digits of your bank account ready. Also, try calling right when they open at 8 AM - that's when I had the most luck getting through. Good luck with your disability claim! 🤞
