The setting of social security password is voluntary, and the insured can choose whether to set it according to personal needs. If the social security card password is entered incorrectly for three consecutive times and locked, you need to bring the original valid ID card to the social security card management center to reset or unlock the password. In addition, the social security card also has a bank password, which is used for banking financial applications. Both of them need to be set separately to ensure safe use.
