If you have forgotten your NAB Internet Banking password, the most effective way to regain access is by using the self-service reset flow available on the official login page. This process is designed to verify your identity securely, allowing you to establish a new password without needing to visit a branch, provided you have your required identification details and security verification methods at hand.
Your password is a critical layer of your account security. When resetting, you will typically need to provide your NAB ID and verify your identity through your registered mobile number—if you have SMS Security enabled—or by using your existing Telephone Banking password. Once verified, you can create a new password that meets the bank's security criteria, ensuring continued access to your digital banking services.

Troubleshooting Common Access Issues
1. MFA / Login Issues
- Cause: You cannot reset your password because the multi-factor authentication (MFA) SMS code is not reaching your mobile device.
- Simple Fix: Wait two minutes for potential network delays before requesting a new code, and ensure your mobile signal is active.
- Fallback Action: Contact the NAB customer support line to verify that your registered mobile number is correct and currently active on your account.
2. Browser or App Errors
- Cause: The reset page fails to load, often due to an outdated application version or stored browser cache data.
- Simple Fix: Clear your browser's cache and cookies, or update your NAB app via the app store to ensure you are using the latest version.
- Fallback Action: Attempt the process on a different device or web browser; if the error persists, contact technical support for assistance.
3. Locked Account / ID / Access Issues
- Cause: Your account is locked after repeated incorrect password attempts, preventing further login or reset efforts.
- Simple Fix: Observe the cooling-off period suggested by the error message before trying the reset flow again.
- Fallback Action: Visit a local NAB branch with your physical photo ID to have a banker manually verify your identity and assist in unlocking your account.
Pro-Tip: Check your digital profile settings for 'SMS Security' if you frequently use the reset flow. Ensuring this is active and your mobile number is up-to-date in your settings significantly reduces the time it takes to verify your identity, allowing you to regain access to your account with minimal frustration.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if I don't have my Telephone Banking password and I am not registered for SMS security?
If you cannot verify your identity through standard digital channels, the system will not allow a self-service reset for security reasons. In this situation, you will need to contact the bank's support team by phone or visit a local branch. A banker can then verify your identity in person or via secure phone procedures, which allows them to help you reset your login access safely.
Q: Can I use the same password I used previously?
Banking security policies typically prevent the reuse of recent passwords to protect your account against unauthorized access if a previous credential was compromised. When you create a new password, the system usually requires it to be distinct from a set number of your past passwords. Your next step should be to create a strong, unique password that you have not used for your banking profile before.
