What is the difference between my TSP account number and my Web password and ThriftLine PIN?
TSP account numbers, Web passwords, and ThriftLine Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are all used to keep your account information secure. Your TSP account number, which replaces your Social Security number as the TSP’s primary means of identifying your account, is intended to help protect you from identity theft. Your Web password and ThriftLine PIN provide a second level of protection when you log into the TSP Web site or the ThriftLine. While you can change or create your own Web password and/or ThriftLine PIN, your TSP account number is assigned to you by the TSP and remains the same throughout your participation in the Thrift Savings Plan.
