How Do You Get Your FAFSA PIN if You Do Not Remember It?

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid uses a PIN system to help users log into their accounts. The PIN is a set of numbers you create for you to use. Apply for your PIN through the FAFSA website. If you forget your PIN, the easiest method to get it back is to change it. You not only get a new number, but changing it occasionally protects your personal information. Use your PIN later to access your account to make loan payments.
