Creating Your AARP Online Account
Before you can update your AARP online account, you need to have an account set up. To create an account, visit the official AARP website and look for the 'Join' or 'Sign Up' button. You will be prompted to enter your personal information such as name, date of birth, and email address. Ensure that you provide accurate information to avoid any issues later. After filling in the required fields, create a secure password that meets the criteria outlined by AARP. Once completed, you will receive a confirmation email to activate your account.
Logging into Your AARP Account
To update your account, first, you must log in. Visit the AARP homepage and click on the 'Sign In' link. Enter your registered email address and password. If you’ve forgotten your password, click on the 'Forgot Password?' link to reset it following the prompts provided. Once logged in, you will have access to your account dashboard, where you can manage your settings.
Updating Personal Information
To update your personal information, navigate to the 'Profile' or 'Account Settings' section on your dashboard. Here, you can modify your name, address, phone number, and any other relevant details. Make sure to save changes after updating to retain the new information. If you encounter any issues, AARP provides customer service support to assist you.
Changing Your Password
For security reasons, it's vital to change your password regularly. To do this, go to the 'Security' section within your account settings. Follow the prompts to enter your current password and then your new password. Again, ensure that the new password meets the strength requirements specified. Once you've changed your password, log out and back in with your new credentials to confirm that the change was successful.
Updating Communication Preferences
AARP allows members to customize their communication preferences for newsletters, promotional emails, and other correspondence. To alter these settings, go to the 'Preferences' or 'Notifications' section, where you can choose how you want to receive information from AARP. Make sure to review and save your changes to ensure they take effect.
Reviewing Membership Details
It’s important to keep track of your membership status and benefits. In the account dashboard, there should be a section dedicated to your membership. Here you can view your membership type, expiration date, and any pending renewals. AARP also provides information about the benefits associated with your membership level. Review these details regularly to ensure you are getting the most out of your membership.
Logging Out of Your Account
After making updates to your AARP account, it’s a good practice to log out, especially if you are using a public or shared computer. Locate the 'Sign Out' button, typically found in the upper-right corner of the webpage. Click it to securely log out of your account. Regularly logging out can help protect your information from unauthorized access.
