To sign in to your USPS account, open the official USPS website, select Sign In, and enter the username and password connected to your account. After access is confirmed, use the account dashboard to review saved tracking activity, shipment details, and available delivery information.

Basic package tracking does not require an account. You can enter a tracking number on the public USPS tracking page, while signing in helps you reach information saved to your account.

Where is the official USPS sign-in page?

Open the company’s official website and look for the Sign In option in the site header or account area. The page should clearly identify USPS and ask for your USPS account credentials.

If you searched for “login USPS” or “sign in USPS,” check the result carefully before entering any information. Avoid advertisements, unofficial login pages, and services that ask for credentials outside the official USPS site.

  • Open the USPS site directly rather than following a link in an unexpected email or text.
  • Check that the browser identifies the page as a secure connection.
  • Do not continue if the page asks for unrelated financial information or credentials from another service.
  • Use the site navigation to reach Sign In if you are uncertain about the page that opened.

How do I sign in to my USPS account?

Have your USPS username and password ready. A username is the account name created during registration; it may not be the same as your email address.

  1. Open the official USPS website and select Sign In.
  2. Enter the username associated with your USPS account.
  3. Enter the password carefully, including the correct capital letters and symbols.
  4. Select the button that submits the sign-in form.
  5. If USPS requests verification, follow the instructions shown and enter the code or complete the security step using the available method.

Do not share a verification code with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly. If you use a shared phone or computer, sign out when finished and do not save the password in the browser.

How do I find USPS tracking after signing in?

For USPS tracking sign in first, then open the account area or dashboard and look for saved tracking or shipment activity. Labels and page layout can change, so follow the tracking-related option displayed in your account rather than relying on an old bookmark.

Saved shipments may show the tracking number, recent scan activity, current delivery status, and delivery information available for that item. If an expected shipment is missing, enter its tracking number in the USPS tracking tool and save it to the account if that option is offered.

A tracking number identifies a specific mailing or package in the USPS system. Signing in does not create tracking information and is not required to check the basic status of a package when you already have its tracking number.

What if I forgot my USPS username or password?

Use the username or password recovery option shown on the official sign-in page. Choose the option that matches what you forgot instead of repeatedly guessing, because unsuccessful attempts may lead to an account restriction.

  1. Open the USPS sign-in page from the company’s official website.
  2. Select the recovery option for a forgotten username or password.
  3. Enter the account information requested on the official form. This may include the email address connected to the account or answers needed to identify the account.
  4. Check the email account or verification method displayed during recovery.
  5. Follow the official instructions to retrieve the username or set a new password.

Check spam or junk folders if an expected recovery email is not visible. Make sure you are checking the inbox connected to the USPS account, not a different email address. Start a new recovery request if an older message or code is no longer accepted.

Why can’t I sign in to USPS?

USPS sign-in problems can come from incorrect credentials, an account restriction, an incomplete verification step, a browser issue, or a temporarily unavailable page. Read the exact message on the screen before trying again.

  • Incorrect username or password: Re-enter both fields manually, check capitalization, and remove spaces added by copying and pasting. Use official recovery if the error continues.
  • Locked or restricted account: Stop repeated attempts and follow the recovery or support instructions displayed by USPS.
  • Verification code never arrives: Confirm that the destination shown on the page is one you can access, check filtered messages, and request another code only when the page allows it.
  • Verification code is rejected: Enter the newest code exactly as shown and avoid reusing a code from an earlier request.
  • Browser page will not load: Refresh once, close and reopen the browser, or try a private browsing window. Clearing USPS cookies may help, but it can also sign you out of an existing session.
  • Page appears unavailable: Return through the main USPS site navigation and try again later if the official account page still does not open.

How do I contact USPS support about account access?

If self-service recovery does not restore access, use the Contact Us or Help area on the official USPS site. Select the category that most closely matches an online account, sign-in, or technical problem so the request reaches the appropriate support path.

Before contacting USPS support, record the exact error message and note whether the problem occurs before or after verification. Have the username, account email address, device type, and browser name available, but never send a password or active verification code.

For a tracking question, also have the tracking number ready. Explain whether you can track the item without signing in and whether the problem is limited to saved shipments in the account dashboard. This distinction helps separate an account-access problem from a package-tracking issue.
