To make logging into your account easier, you can now create a Custom User ID to use in place of your 13-digit TSP account number. To do this, log into Account Access using your account number and Web password, then choose “Create/Modify Custom ID” from the Account Access menu. Your custom ID is interchangeable with your TSP account number on the Web site — you can use your custom ID or your 13-digit TSP account number, along with your Web password, any time you log in to access your account. Here are some of the advantages of creating your own custom ID:
- It is an ID that you can remember more easily than your TSP account number;
- It is effective immediately;
- It is interchangeable with your TSP account number: you can still use your TSP account number any time you log in to access your account;
- If you forget your custom ID, you can easily retrieve it by logging in using your 13-digit TSP account number. When you select “Create/Modify Custom ID” from the Account Access menu, you will be able to view your current custom ID, and if you wish, change it to one that you can remember more easily;
- If you believe that someone else may know your custom ID (along with your Web password), you can instantly create a new one by choosing “Create/Modify Custom ID” from the Account Access menu. (You should also instantly change your Web password by choosing “Change Web Password” from the Account Access menu.)
