Sprint Account Passwords

As a Sprint customer, you enjoy unlimited access to your personal account information, your voicemail account, and your Sprint Vision® account. To ensure that no one else has access to your information, you will need to create passwords to protect your privacy.

Account Password

Your default account password is the last four digits of your Social Security number. If you are not the account owner (if someone else pays for your Sprint service), you can get a subaccount password at www.sprint.com.

Voicemail Password

You’ll create your voicemail password (or passcode) when you set up your voicemail. See “Setting Up Your Voicep mail” for more information on your voicemail password.

Sprint Vision Password

With your device and Sprint Vision service, you can set up a Sprint Vision password. This optional password may be used to authorize purchase of Premium Services content and to protect personal information on multi-phone accounts.

For more information or to change your passwords, sign on to www.sprint.com or call Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727.
