You lost access to the gov.br? See how to recover your account and avoid this problem with a password manager who saves your history and ensures your security.


The problem goes beyond forgetting the password

Forgetting a password can seem like a common thing — and it is. But when we talk about forget access to gov.br, we are facing something much more serious: it is one of the logins most important of the digital life of any citizen or company in Brazil.

It is through the gov.br that you:

  • State your Income Tax;
  • Accesses services from INSS;
  • Consultation or renewal of documents DMV;
  • Perform digital signatures with legal validity;
  • Management social benefits, public records and integrations with prefectures and federal agencies.

And even though it is so essential, access to gov.br is constantly lost by a simple and common reason: forgetting the password. More than that, the lack of password organization and control makes recovery difficult, time consuming and sometimes unviable.


How to recover gov.br password

If you are not accounted for, the government offers some ways to recover — provided you still have access to your mobile phone, email or bank associated with your account.

Options to recover account:

  1. Facial recognition in the application gov.br (available for those with CNH);
  2. Verification code via email or SMS;
  3. Bank authentication (Bank of Brazil, Caixa, Itaú, etc.);
  4. Service Form, if none of the above options works.

Access: https://access.gov.br

The process can be quick — or frustrating — depending on your prior organization. And that is where the central point of this content comes in: Why not prevent this problem once and for all?


Why do so many people forget the password of gov.br?

The answer lies in modern digital behavior:

  • We use dozens (or hundreds) of different logins and passwords;
  • Many records were made years ago with outdated emails or phone numbers;
  • Passwords change over time and cannot be repeated on some platforms;
  • Most people does not record password changes in a safe manner;
  • And the worst: when more than one person has access (as in companies or family nuclei), nobody knows exactly who changed the password or where it was noted.

What is at risk by losing access to gov.br

Losing access to your gov.br account may result in:

  • Fine for not sending forward statements within the time limit;
  • The Commission shall, in accordance with Article 12, adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 21(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, adopt implementing acts in accordance with Article 21(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013.
  • loss of benefits or delays in processes;
  • Disorders with essential services such as My INSSDMVFederal RevenueMEI, among others;
  • Need for face-to-face attendance to validate identity.

In some cases, the injury is FinancialBut most of the time it's time and emotional wear.
