Designed for you—and with you

Every day, we review customer feedback to make your online experience better. Based on your feedback, a new pge.com account is coming in Spring 2025.  

 

Improved security is coming. Don't lose access!

 

When we launch your new account in Spring 2025, you will be required to receive a text message or phone call with a code before you can sign into your account. If we have the wrong contact information on file, you won’t get the code and will need to call us to update your phone number. Confirm your phone and email.

  • To confirm your email address and phone number, sign in. If you haven’t updated your contact information in the past 60 days, you should see a popup where you can make updates. The popup will show every 60 days until we launch the new site.
  • If you don't receive a popup, you can update the contact information in your profile at pge.com/myalerts.
  • If you have already confirmed or updated your phone number and email address, thank you. No further action is required.
  • The first time you sign into the new site, we'll send a security code through an SMS text or phone call. This will verify your identity and help keep your account safe from scammers.

 

In Spring 2025, your new pge.com account will also have:

 

  • Easier password resets. Get a code via email or SMS text to reset your password—no more security questions or typing in temporary passwords.
  • More payment options. Pay your bill with Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  • Easier guest pay. Pay your bill or a loved one’s without signing in. All you need is the account number, the main phone number on the account, and the property’s ZIP code.
  • A more personalized experience. Get insights to make your bill easier to understand. We’ll also tell you if you could save money by changing your rate.
  • Authorized users. Add family members or trusted users. They’ll have their own login. No more password sharing.
