If you’re a business account holder, you can give a business partner access by following these steps:

1. Sign into My Account
2. Go to Account Settings and select Manage User Access
3. Select Add New User and enter the required information
4. Select which business accounts to share and choose the user’s access level
5. Create a 4‑digit PIN and share it with the new user

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.

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

What is 2-factor authentication (2FA)?

2-factor authentication (2FA) is a security feature that helps protect your SoCalGas My Account by requiring two forms of identification when you sign in. In addition to your password, you’ll need a one-time security code to verify your identity.

With My Account, you can receive your 2FA code in one of the following ways:

• Authenticator app: Generates a one-time code on your device (codes refresh about every 30 seconds).
• Text message (SMS): Sends a one-time code to your mobile phone.

This extra step makes it much harder for unauthorized users to access your account—even if they know your password—and helps protect your personal and billing information.

Why did SoCalGas My Account put 2FA in place?

2FA adds an extra layer of protection beyond your password, helping prevent unauthorized access, fraud, and identity theft while aligning with modern security standards.

How does 2FA work?

When signing in from a new or unrecognized device, you’ll be asked to enter:

1. Your password
2. A one-time authentication code

If you select “Remember this device,” you may not need to enter a code on that device for future sign-ins. However, 2FA may still be required if you:

• Use a new device or browser
• Clear your browser cookies or cache
• Return after a period of inactivity
• Trigger unusual activity detection

How do I turn on and manage 2FA?

To enable or manage 2FA in My Account:

• Go to Log In and Security
• Select Turn On for your preferred verification method:
  • Text message (SMS)
  • Authenticator app
• Follow the on-screen prompts to complete setup

You can update your preferences at any time in your account settings.

How do I receive 2FA codes?

Authenticator Apps

Authenticator apps (such as Microsoft Authenticator or Google Authenticator) generate secure, one-time codes directly on your device. These apps are available through your device’s app store. SoCalGas does not share your account information with authenticator apps.

Text messages (SMS)

• Codes are sent to mobile phones with SMS capability
• Only U.S. phone numbers are supported
• Landlines cannot receive text messages
• VoIP services (such as Google Voice) may not reliably receive codes

If your phone cannot receive text messages, you can use an authenticator app instead.

Best practices for using 2FA

To keep your account secure and ensure you don’t lose access:

• Remember your My Account password
• Keep your mobile phone number up to date
• Keep your device with your authenticator app 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.

Even though a distinctive odor is added to natural gas to assist in the detection of leaks, you should not rely on just your nose to alert you to the presence of natural gas. There are a number of reasons why your sense of smell may not always let you know that gas is leaking or has been released.^[1]  And, certain conditions in pipe and soil may cause odor fade - the loss of odorant so that it is not detectable by smell.

Odor fade (loss of odorant) refers to the phenomenon in which physical and/or chemical processes cause the loss of odorant in natural gas so that its distinctive odor may no longer be detectable by smell.
