How to Reset Your eGov PH MPIN
Quick answer
To reset your eGov PH MPIN, tap Forgot MPIN on the login screen, type the OTP sent to your registered number, pass the face check, and set a new 6-digit MPIN. You need the same mobile number you used to register.
Before you start
- Your registered mobile number, in your phone, with signal.
- Good light for the face check.
- A new MPIN that is not your birth date or an easy pattern.

1. Open the eGov PH app
2. Tap Forgot MPIN
3. Confirm your mobile number
4. Type the OTP from SMS
Never share it.
5. Take the face check if asked
6. Enter a new MPIN twice
7. Log in with the new MPIN
8. To change your MPIN when you still know it, open the app settings and look for Change MPIN
