Where to find the AARP login page

Go to aarp.org and look for the "Sign In" button in the top right corner of the page. Click it, and you'll land on the login screen. You can also go directly to aarp.org/signin to skip the homepage.

Enter the email address or username you used when you created your AARP account, then your password. If you've forgotten either one, AARP offers a recovery option on the same page — click "Forgot username?" or "Forgot password?" and follow the prompts to reset it.

Once you're signed in, you can view your membership details, access member discounts, read AARP Magazine online, and manage your account settings. The login process takes less than a minute if you remember both your username and password.

Key Takeaways

  • The AARP login page is at aarp.org/signin, where you enter your email or username and password.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page to reset it by email within 24 hours.
  • You can call AARP Member Services at 1-888-687-2277 if you have trouble logging in or need help recovering your account.
  • After you log in, you can view your membership card, check renewal dates, and access member-only discounts and resources.
  • The AARP website and mobile app both support login, so you can manage your account from your phone or computer.

Resetting a forgotten password

Click "Forgot password?" on the login page. AARP will ask you to enter the email address associated with your account. Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a message from AARP with a link to reset your password. The link usually works for 24 hours.

Click the link, create a new password, and confirm it. Your new password should be at least 8 characters long and should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols if possible. Once you've set it, go back to the login page and sign in with your email and new password.

If you don't receive the password reset email within a few minutes, check your spam or junk folder. Some email providers filter AARP messages by mistake. If you still don't see it after 10 minutes, try the process again or call Member Services for help.

Recovering a forgotten username

If you don't remember the username you created, click "Forgot username?" on the login page. Enter the email address tied to your account, and AARP will send you a message with your username or let you know what email is on file.

If the email address you enter isn't in their system, you may need to create a new account. AARP will guide you through that process on the same page. You'll need your membership number, which appears on your physical membership card.

What to do if you can't log in

If you've entered your username and password correctly but still can't access your account, try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, then attempt to log in again. Sometimes old data stored in your browser can cause login problems. You can usually find this option in your browser's settings under "Privacy" or "History."

If that doesn't work, try logging in using a different web browser or device. This helps you figure out whether the problem is with your account or with your computer. If you can log in on a different device, the issue is likely with your original browser.

If you still can't log in, call AARP Member Services at 1-888-687-2277. They're available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time, and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern time. Have your membership number or the email address on your account ready when you call.

Accessing your membership card online

After you log in, click on "My Account" or "Membership" (the exact label varies depending on which part of the site you're on). You'll see an option to view or read your membership card. You can save it to your phone or print it out.

Your membership card shows your membership number, which you'll need when you use AARP discounts at participating retailers, restaurants, hotels, and other businesses. Some discounts require you to show the card; others just need the number. You can also take a screenshot of your digital card and show it on your phone at checkout.

Managing your account after login

Once you're signed in, you can update your contact information, change your password, manage email preferences, and view your membership renewal date. Click "My Account" or "Account Settings" to find these options.

You can also update your payment method if your membership is set to auto-renew, read past issues of AARP Magazine, and explore member discounts by category — travel, dining, health services, and more. Your account dashboard shows which discounts are available in your area based on your zip code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to create an account to use AARP discounts?

No. You can use your AARP membership card or membership number at most participating businesses without logging in online. However, creating an account lets you manage your membership, access digital content, and track which discounts are available near you.

What if I don't have an AARP account yet?

Go to aarp.org and look for "Create Account" or "Sign Up" near the login button. You'll need your membership number, which appears on your physical membership card. If you don't have a card yet, you can start a new membership through the same process.

Can I log in on my phone?

Yes. The AARP website works on phones and tablets. You can also read the AARP mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and log in there to access your account on the go.

Is my password find?

AARP uses encryption to protect your login information. Never share your password with anyone, and don't use the same password for AARP that you use for other accounts. If you think someone else has accessed your account, change your password when ready and call Member Services at 1-888-687-2277.
