How do I unlock my SBI YONO app account if it is locked?

Can someone explain the exact steps to unlock a locked YONO account, including what to do if I forgot my MPIN, entered the wrong credentials too many times, or if the app locked me out for security reasons?

How Do I Unlock My SBI YONO App Account If It Is Locked?

If you repeatedly enter the incorrect MPIN or password, switch devices abruptly, or SBI notices a security risk, your SBI YONO app account may be locked. The good news is that unlocking it without going to a branch is simple.

1. Use the “Forgot MPIN/Password” Option

  • Open the YONO SBI app
  • Tap “Login”
  • Select “Forgot MPIN” or “Forgot User ID / Password”
  • Verify using OTP sent to your registered mobile number
  • Create a new MPIN or password

2. Unlock Using Internet Banking

  3. Go to Profile → Change Login Password / Reset Profile Password
  4. Reset or update your credentials
  5. Try logging in to YONO again

3. Clear App Cache or Reinstall YONO (If App Says “Account Locked”)

Steps for Android:

  • Settings → Apps → YONO SBI → Storage → Clear Cache

Or reinstall:

  • Uninstall YONO → Reinstall from official Play Store/App Store

4. If You Changed Your Mobile or Device

  • Log in again using Internet Banking credentials
