Resolving Access Issues with Your E-PASS Profile
⚠️ Cannot Access Online Account (Forgot Password/Username)
Cause: You have forgotten your login credentials, either your password or username.
Solution: We know being locked out of your digital portal can be stressful. If you've forgotten your password, navigate to the login page and click Forgot Password?. You will be prompted to enter the email address associated with your E-PASS account to receive password reset instructions. If you've forgotten your username, there's also a Forgot Username? option on the login screen to help you retrieve it. If these steps don't work, contact customer support directly for assistance.
⚠️ Account Low Balance
Cause: Your E-PASS account has insufficient funds, potentially leading to Pay By Plate invoices.
Solution: The fastest way to fix a low balance is to log into your online account or use the E-PASS Toll App to add funds instantly. You can set up email alerts for low balances to prevent this in the future. Ensure your auto-recharge settings are current if you use that feature.
⚠️ Difficulty Paying a Pay By Plate Invoice
Cause: You received a Pay By Plate invoice and are unsure how to settle it or link it to your E-PASS.
Solution: You can pay a Pay By Plate invoice online using a credit card via the E-PASS website, or through the E-PASS Smartphone app. You can also pay by phone or in person at an E-PASS Service Center. Remember, E-PASS transponders offer discounted rates compared to Pay By Plate, so consider getting one to save money.
Protecting Your E-PASS Account from Digital Threats
- 🔒 Be vigilant about phishing scams; CFX will not text you about an outstanding toll balance or ask for payment via text message. Do not click suspicious links.
- 🔒 Always verify the website address: ensure you are on the official cfxway.com or epass.cfxway.com domain before entering personal or payment information.
- 🔒 Use strong, unique passwords for your E-PASS account and consider enabling any available enhanced security options like fingerprint or Face ID for the mobile app.
- 🔒 Regularly monitor your account activity and transactions for any unauthorized charges.
- 🔒 If you suspect you've clicked a fraudulent link or shared information, immediately secure your personal and financial accounts and report it to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3.gov).

Quick Answers to Your E-PASS Toll Questions
Q: What is E-PASS and how does it work for toll payments?
E-PASS is the Central Florida Expressway Authority's electronic toll collection system. When you have an E-PASS transponder on your vehicle, tolls are automatically deducted from your prepaid account as you drive through toll points without stopping. Funds are added to your E-PASS account using various payment methods.
Q: How do I add funds to my E-PASS account?
You can replenish your E-PASS account online by logging into your digital portal, through the E-PASS Toll App (available on the App Store and Google Play Store), by calling the E-PASS Call Center, mailing a check, or visiting an E-PASS Service Center in person.
Q: Can I use E-PASS on other toll roads outside Central Florida?
Yes, E-PASS transponders are interoperable and can be used on all toll roads in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Q: What happens if I receive a Pay By Plate invoice but have an E-PASS?
If your E-PASS account has insufficient funds or your transponder wasn't detected, you might receive a Pay By Plate invoice. These invoices can be paid online, through the E-PASS Toll App, by phone, or in person. It's recommended to keep your E-PASS account funded to avoid Pay By Plate rates, which are typically higher.
