FAQ





How do PC™ id security enhancements impact me?

What do the new password requirements mean?

We’ve updated our password requirements for PC™ id as part of our ongoing efforts to help secure our members’ accounts. This means if you have a PC™ id with any of the above mentioned sites, you may need to create a longer and stronger password. Why have you changed your password requirements?

This is a part of the new normal for online business and our growing privacy and security standards. We believe helping to protect the privacy and security of online information is the responsibility of both the company and the individual and this is one way we’re doing our part to help keep your information safe. In the coming weeks, we will introduce further measures, including two-step verification.

How do I make a strong password?

Use a sentence or phrase that only you know. Spaces, numbers and special characters are okay. The PCid password requirement is a minimum of 10 characters.

Also, password managers can be a helpful tool to ensure you have strong and unique passwords for all of your online accounts. Leveraging a password manager allows for easy accessibility to manage the unique passwords.

What if I don’t change my password before August 31?

After August 31, members will be required to create a new password at log in. Creating a new password is easy and you can do it at any time by going to your account settings. After August 31 you will be prompted to create a new password that meets the increased security requirements. Update now to ensure quick access to your offers and account.

Why am I being asked to update my password when I try to access my account?

We’ve updated our password requirements and asked all members to create a new password before August 31. After that time, members are required to create a new password to log in. Creating a new password is easy – the next time you open your app or login to the website you will be prompted to create a new password that meets the increased security requirements.

Why doesn’t my old password work anymore?

We have made every effort to communicate directly with our members about the upcoming change, including adding information to the weekly offers email, on our websites (pcoptimum.ca, joefresh.com, and online grocery banners) and through our social media channels. Our apologies if our messages didn’t make it to you. You will now be required to create a new password that meets our new password requirements using the “forgot password” process on the sign in page.

What is two-step verification?

Two-step verification helps protect your account by requiring two different forms of identity: your password, and a contact method (such as a cell phone number or email). Whenever you sign in to your PC Optimum account from a new device or location, you’ll receive a security code via email to enter as part of your sign-in.

When will I receive my PC Optimum points?

If you earned PC Optimum points on your order, they will be awarded to your account 2–3 days after your order has been shipped. If you entered a promo code to receive Points from a PC Optimum offer, these points will show up in your account 3 – 4 weeks after your order has been shipped.

How do I create an account?

To create your account, select SIGN IN at the top right corner of the homepage, then CREATE AN ACCOUNT.
