SBI offers net banking facility that allows the account holders to transfer money to other accounts or pay bills etc online. Security is a big concern here, therefore, SBI net banking account has two different passwords which are account and profile password respectively.
You need to enter the Username and Account password to login to your net banking account. The Profile password is required for important functions like adding, deleting or modifying beneficiaries, updating personal information etc. You have to set both these passwords along with your Username when you first create the sbi net banking account.

All this make the passwords very complicated and hard to remember. It is very important to not forget these passwords but in case you forget them, then below are the ways using which you can recover them easily.
