  • Wireless, home phone, or AT&T Mail
  • AT&T TVSM or AT&T TV NOWSM
  • U-verse® TV, AT&T Internet, AT&T Phone, or DSL 
  • DIRECTV bundled with wireless or AT&T Internet
  • DIRECTV (if we sent you an Access ID when you ordered your service)
  • NumberSyncSM for wearables1

You can use 1 ID to manage multiple AT&T accounts and services. Find out how to add more accounts to your ID.

After creating your ID

Password tips

  • Make your password strong and secure by following our AT&T password requirements.
  • Save your password on your phone if you want to use your fingerprint to sign in to the myAT&T app2 on a compatible wireless phone.

Primary or secondary online access

  • Your user ID gives you primary or secondary online access to 1 or more accounts.
  • Secondary online access is for someone whose name isn’t on the bill. They can co-manage the account online.
  • Your user ID may have primary access to some accounts and secondary access to others. Learn how to manage online access for your ID or accounts.

Wireless customers

  • Sync your phone with a compatible wearable using NumberSync for wearables.1
  • Make sure your wireless service is active before you add the account to your ID.
