Changes to member login passwords
Effective March 1, 2012 all passwords for State Bar members will be reset to an easier format. New passwords will contain the member's initials and bar number only, eliminating the extra 20 required currently.

If this is your first time logging in, your username is the first and last name you are registered by with the State Bar with no spacein between. You must capitalize the first letter of your first and last name. Example: JohnDoe  If you share the same name as another member you may need to use your middle initial as part of your username. Example: JohnASmithIf you are paying annual dues click on the "renew" link under your name.

Your password is the capital letters of your first and last name, and for most members, the number 20 and your license/member number. Example: JD201234 (for JohnDoe) However, if you were admitted between May 19, 2009 and October 5, 2009 you will use 21 in front of your license/member number. If you were admitted after October 5, 2009 you will use a 2 in front of your license/member number.

*All default passwords contain 6 numbers so if you have a 2 or 3 digit license/member number you will need to add an extra zero(s). For example, if your license/member number is 567 you would add an extra zero after the number 20. (200567)

If you have forgotten your password, you can have the system look it up by clicking on the "Forgot your Password?" link. Your password will be sent to the email address we have on file for you. If your member record does not include an email address or it is outdated you will need to contact the State Bar at (406) 442-7660 or send an email to jdiveley@montanabar.org. 

Common Troubleshooting:

• Refresh the page (F5 key)
• Clear your browsing history
• Exit out of website and come back in
• Double-check username and password (see above for format)
• Try a different web browser
• Make sure number lock key is on
• Did you change your password from the default? For security reasons the State Bar is unable to see passwords that have been changed. You will need to click the "Forgot Password" link or contact the State Bar to have it reset.
