What happens if users forget their MyDigital ID password?

Question

Accepted Answer

Forgetting your MyDigital ID password can block login to major government apps like MyJPJ

If users forget their MyDigital ID password, they may be unable to log into major government apps that require MyDigital ID authentication, including MyJPJ. In the scenario described, this can prevent users from viewing updated licence details in MyJPJ and can cause long delays while they try to access their information.
MyJPJ access depends on MyDigital ID authentication
The situation described is that MyJPJ can only be accessed through MyDigital ID, so logging into MyJPJ is not possible without successful MyDigital ID login. The example focuses on a user who goes to renew a driver’s licence and then discovers they cannot view the latest details in MyJPJ unless they log in via MyDigital ID.
Password recall problems can cause people to get stuck at service counters
The coverage describes “thousands” of people who installed MyDigital ID but cannot remember the password “to save their lives.” As a result, many people may end up standing in queues at post office, JPJ, or UTC branches while they attempt to log in and check licence or road tax or vehicle ownership details.
High demand and system overload can compound login difficulties
Even for users who do not have password or device issues, the text points to difficulty logging in due to “high demand and system overload.” This means forgetting the password is not the only reason people might struggle, but the password issue is explicitly linked to prolonged waiting at government service locations.
Delays can extend beyond counters, including roadside checks in a hypothetical example
The text includes a hypothetical scenario where a policeman stopping a driver could have to wait an extended period if the driver cannot log into MyDigital ID to show licence details. It describes the driver waiting while a phone login screen continues spinning, illustrating how password-related login failure could translate into delays in real-world interactions.
