As always, forgetting one part of your log in information is a bit frustrating and inconvenient. Verizon makes it easier by asking for your 10-digit phone number to start the process of resetting your password. It's a similar process if you forget your user ID too, enter your phone number with area code and follow the prompts to resolve the slight hassle of forgetting your password.
It seems that everyone has a smartphone of some kind or another nowadays. And usually the only way to establish service on one is through a contract plan.

This guide will help you get back into your account in no time flat.
Forgotten Password
Forgotten User ID
If you forget your ID, don't worry. The only thing that changes in the above steps is clicking on Forgot User ID after you select My Account.
Next, you'll be asked for your mobile phone number or email address to start the process to pull up your information. Follow the prompts and you'll receive your User ID. Another option is just using your 10-digit phone number, which further streamlines the sign-in process.
New Password Tips
Verizon suggests creating a password that is between 8 and 20 characters, has at least one letter and at least one number. Plus, it can't be easy to guess so it's best to avoid birthdays, pets' or childrens' names to keep your password safe.
