Creating Your Password
Before you can activate your Fidelity Account,® you must ensure you have a password to access
your information. If you have an existing individual brokerage account with Fidelity or access to
netbenefits.fidelity.com for other benefit programs, you do not need to create a new password — you will have the convenience of accessing all of your information with the same password.
Step 1
• In order to activate your account, first you need to establish your username
and password. Visit netbenefits.fidelity.com and click on New User Registration.
Step 2
• Complete the information requested to verify your identity, including the last 4 digits of
your Social Security number, date of birth, and first and last name.
• Click Next.
Step 3
• Create a new username.
• By default, your username is your Social Security number (SSN). For security reasons, we
recommend that you change your username. Click the button to Create username
to complete.
• Create your password. You can enter your current password, if you have created
it previously. Otherwise, use the following criteria to create your password:
– 6 to 12 letters and/or numbers.
– No sequences (e.g., 1234) or a single repeating number or letter.
– Do not use Social Security number, username, or date of birth.
• Create a security question and answer and provide your e-mail address. Click Submit.
Step 4
• You have successfully created your password and username. You may now log in to
netbenefits.fidelity.com to activate your Fidelity Account.
