For your security, we have removed the option to log in with a mobile number. 

To log in to My Account, you'll need to use a registered email address.

To register your email address:

1. Visit the registration form
2. Fill in your details
3. Enter the code sent to your email address

If you’re still having trouble logging in, please contact us. 

1. Go to the Login page (this is the same for My Account or the AGL app)
2. Enter the email address linked to your account and select 'Next'
3. On the 'Enter password' page, select ‘Forgot’
4. Follow the link we’ve sent to your registered email address to change your password

If you don’t see the ‘Enter password’ page, you’ll need to create a password.

Top tips for a strong password

• Use a password that is unique and not used for any other websites
• Use a minimum of 8 characters with a mix of upper case letters, numbers and special characters (e.g. !@$)
• Use a Password Manager to securely generate and store your passwords
• Avoid using a string of numbers (e.g. 123456)
• Steer clear of common words, such as your favourite holiday destination, football team or music
• Never use any publicly available information, such as social media aliases

If you get a message that says “your password is no longer secure”, this means we’ve been told your email may have been leaked by another website or service.

You need to reset your password before you log in again.

We’re not sure which website or application is responsible for this leak, but you can find useful tips about online security at the Australian Government's Stay Smart Online website.

If you've tried to log in too many times with an incorrect password, you'll be blocked.

To fix this, select 'Forgot?' on the Password screen.

1. Check if the reset password email is in your junk mail folder
2. Check if your inbox is full
3. If neither of these is the issue, try repeating the 'Change your password' process
4. If you still don’t receive the email, speak to your email provider to see if they've blocked the message. Otherwise you can confirm we sent the email if you chat with us.

Remember, you can still log in without your password by using a one-time code.

1. Check your network connection. You’ll need a mobile device signal or Wi-Fi connection to receive an SMS
2. Check ‘Airplane mode’ is turned off
3. Check ‘Notifications’ are turned on. You won’t receive notifications if ‘Do not disturb’ is turned on
4. Check if your text message inbox is full. If it is full, you may not be able to receive messages
5. Try rebooting your device
6. If none of these are the issue, select ‘Re-send' at the bottom of the 'Verify Code’ page

If these troubleshooting tips don’t work, you can Contact us to confirm we sent the SMS.

1. Check your email address is correct
2. Check if the email is in your junk mail
3. Check if your inbox is full. If it is full, you may not be able to receive emails
4. If you’re using Hotmail, check your ‘Focused’ and 'Other' tabs
5. If none of these are the issue, select ‘Re-send' at the bottom of the 'Verify Code’ page

If these troubleshooting tips don’t work, you can Contact us to confirm we sent the email.

1. Check you’re entering the right number
2. Check you're using the most recent code sent to your email or SMS
3. Make sure you’re entering the code within five minutes of receiving it
4. Select 'Re-send' at the bottom of the ‘Verify Code’ page to request a new code and try again
