Required Information for Successful Login

Before you begin, gather the following:

  • Member ID or policy number
  • Email address associated with the account
  • Password (or recovery options if forgotten)

These details are essential for authentication. If you cannot locate your policy number, check your insurance documents or the email confirmation you received when the policy was issued.

Step‑by‑Step Login Process

1. Open the Login Page

From the homepage, click the "Member Login" link. The page will display two input fields: one for your username or policy number and another for your password.

2. Enter Your Credentials

Type your policy number or member ID into the first field. In the second field, input the password you created during registration. The portal uses case‑sensitive input, so double‑check capitalization.

3. Use the "Remember Me" Feature Wisely

Check the box if you want the system to remember your login on that device. For shared or public computers, leave it unchecked to maintain security.

4. Click "Login"

After entering your credentials, press the login button. If the information is correct, you will be redirected to your dashboard where you can manage your policy.

Forgotten Password? How to Reset It

If you cannot recall your password, click the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page. The process requires:

  • Policy number or member ID
  • Registered email address
  • Security question answer (if set)

Once you submit this information, Lincoln National will email a password reset link. Follow the link, choose a new password that meets the security criteria (at least 8 characters, includes a number and a special character), and confirm it.

Common Login Issues and Quick Fixes

Below are typical problems and how to resolve them:
