- Select Add New User and enter the required information
- Select which business accounts to share and choose the user’s access level

Important notes:
- Access can only be granted to business accounts linked to My Account
- Residential accounts can’t be shared separately at this time
- Only one user can be Prime Administrator—assigning this role removes it from you
- You can choose different permission levels (such as Admin, Billing Only, or View Only) to control what the user can access.
One of the benefits of registering a business account with My Account is the ability for administrators to add users and manage their access to bill accounts. Each account can have up to 10 administrators and 500 total users linked.
As an administrator, you’re responsible for managing the users you invite. Administrators can also:
- View and pay bills
- Review and analyze usage
- Update contact information
- Edit bank information
- Go paperless
This flexibility makes it easy to share access while staying in control of your account.
The 4‑digit PIN code is created by the account administrator when adding a new user. The administrator will share this PIN directly with the new user.
After the user is added, an email will be sent prompting them to enter the PIN. Use the code provided by the administrator to complete the setup and gain access to the account.
The 4‑digit PIN code will be provided to you by your company’s administrator—the same person who sent the email invitation. Please note that SoCalGas does not create or issue this PIN.
If you need the PIN, we recommend contacting your company administrator directly.
Please contact your company’s administrator—the person who sent you the email invitation—to obtain your 4‑digit PIN code.
Please note that SoCalGas does not create or issue the PIN code. If you haven’t received it, your company administrator will be able to assist you.
To take over responsibility for an account, please call us at 1-877-238-0092. A customer service representative will assist you through setting up a new account.

General Bill Account Information
Security Deposits
Please use this information when seeking the return of your deposit:
Good Payment History
Your deposit, plus interest, is automatically applied as a credit to your account after your account has been paid for 12 months consecutively without becoming past due. If your payment is late on any one bill, the 12-month timeline starts over again. Unfortunately, deposits will not be applied as payment for past due bills to avoid discontinuance of service. Credits on active accounts may be refunded upon the customer's request.
Termination of Service
Upon termination of service, the deposit plus interest is automatically applied as a credit on your account. SoCalGas will subtract any outstanding bills from the credit. If another account is opened, we will transfer the credit to the new account.
These are the conditions that prevent you from receiving a check in the mail:
- When applying the deposit does not result in a credit balance (e.g. outstanding bills)
- When a deposit is transferred to another account and there is no credit balance
- When a credit balance is generated because of a pledge payment
Requesting Your Deposit

Locked Account & Security
- What is multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
- An authenticator app that generates a one time security code, or
- A text message (SMS) sent to your mobile phone with a one time code
How can I receive a multi-factor authentication (MFA) security code for SoCalGas My Account?
You can receive your MFA security code in one of the following ways:
- Authenticator app - Use a supported authenticator app (such as Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, or a similar application). The app generates a one time code on your device when you sign in.
- Text message (SMS) - Receive a one time security code sent to your mobile phone via text message. Text messages can only be sent to U.S. phone numbers. VOIP services (such as Google Voice) may not receive our messages.
You’ll choose and set up your preferred option during sign in or in your My Account security settings. Either method helps verify your identity and keeps your account secure.
Why did SoCalGas My Account put MFA in place?
MFA adds an extra layer of security beyond a password, helping prevent unauthorized access, fraud, and identity theft, and aligns My Account with modern security standards.
Will multi factor authentication (MFA) for SoCalGas My Account be required every time I sign in?
Not always. If you select “Remember this device” after successfully completing MFA, you will not need to enter an MFA security code on that device for future sign ins.
However, MFA may still be required if you:
- Sign in from a new or unrecognized device or browser
- Clear your browser cookies or cache
- Attempt to sign in after a period of inactivity or if unusual activity is detected
This approach helps balance convenience while keeping your account secure.
Which types of phones can receive an MFA security code?
MFA security codes are sent by text message (SMS) and can only be received on mobile phones with SMS text messaging capability.
Please note:
- Landline phones cannot receive text messages and cannot be used for MFA
- Text messages can only be sent to U.S. phone numbers
- VoIP or internet based phone services (such as Google Voice) may not reliably receive MFA text messages
If your phone cannot receive text messages, you can use an authenticator app as an alternative way to receive MFA codes.
Multi factor authentication (MFA) is a security feature that helps protect your account by requiring more than one way to verify your identity when you sign in.
With SoCalGas My Account, MFA uses:
This extra step makes it much harder for unauthorized users to access your account—even if they know your password—and helps keep your personal and billing information secure.
For your security, your My Account may be locked if there are too many unsuccessful login attempts.
If this happens, please call us at 1-877-238-0092 so we can help restore access to your online account.
If you are receiving the error message "You cannot access your account at this time.”, it may be due to too many failed login attempts.
We understand this can be inconvenient, but your account now requires manual assistance to restore access. Please contact a Customer Service Representative, and we will be happy to assist you in completing your request.
