What You Need Before You Start
To verify your identity and protect your personal payroll data, the system will require a few key pieces of information. Make sure you have the following on hand:
- Your Employee ID (EID): Your unique 7-digit Dollar General identification number.
- Legal Name Initials: The initials of your legal first and last name.
- Social Security Number (SSN): Usually just the last 4 digits for verification.
- Date of Birth: To confirm your identity details.
- Security Question Answers: The answers to the security questions you configured during your initial onboarding/profile registration.
Step-by-Step DGme Password Reset Process
Follow these steps to safely reset your password from any desktop computer or mobile device:
Step 1: Access the DGme Portal
Navigate to the official Dollar General Employee Login portal. (You can search for “DGme login” or access it via websso.dolgen.net).
Step 2: Locate the Password Recovery Link
On the main login page, look right next to or below the Sign-In fields. Click on the link that says “Forgot Password?” (If you don’t know your Employee ID, you can also click “Look it up here”).
Step 3: Verify Your Identity
You will be directed to the Identity and Access Management page. Here, enter your Employee ID (EID), your legal initials, and any other requested security credentials (like your date of birth or the last 4 digits of your SSN) to pull up your employee profile.
Step 4: Answer Your Security Questions
The system will display the security questions you selected when you first registered your profile (e.g., “What city were you born in?”). Type in the correct answers.
Step 5: Choose Your Action
Once your identity is verified, you will be taken to a “Password Reset Options” menu. Select the option that reads “Reset and synchronize all Account Passwords” or “Reset one or more Account Password(s)”.
Step 6: Create and Confirm a New Password
Type in your new password, then type it again in the verification field to confirm it. Make sure your new password meets Dollar General’s corporate security guidelines (detailed below).
Step 7: Finalize and Log In
Click submit. If your password meets the complexity requirements, you will see a “Password Reset Process is complete” success message. Close your browser tab, open a fresh page, and log in using your Employee ID and your brand-new password.
Dollar General Password Guidelines & Rules
To keep your personal information and direct deposit details safe from hackers, Dollar General enforces strict password complexity rules:
- Length: Must be at least 8 characters long.
- Variety: Must include at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special character (e.g., !, @, #, $).
- Expiration: Your DGme password will automatically expire every 90 days for security purposes, requiring a mandatory update.
- No Repeats: You cannot reuse any of your last 10 previous passwords.
- Avoid Forbidden Terms: The system will reject your password if it includes dictionary words, slang, personal info (like your birthday/SSN), or company-specific terms (such as “Dollar General”, “Dolgen”, or “Integrity”).
