MyHFT Login
What is Harbor Freight?
Before we jump into the nitty-gritty of MyHFT, let’s take a quick moment to talk about Harbor Freight. For those who may not know, Harbor Freight is a popular retail chain that specializes in quality tools at super affordable prices.
They’ve got everything from power tools and hand tools to automotive supplies and outdoor equipment.
As an employee of Harbor Freight, you’re part of a team that’s dedicated to providing top-notch customer service and helping folks find the tools they need to get the job done.
And with MyHFT, managing your work life just got a whole lot easier.
Requirements for Accessing MyHFT
Now, before you can start exploring all the amazing features of MyHFT, there are a few things you’ll need to have on hand. Don’t worry, it’s nothing too crazy! Here’s what you’ll need:
- A laptop, desktop, or smartphone
- A stable internet connection
- A supported web browser (like Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge)
- Your employee ID and temporary password (more on that in a bit!)
It’s important to note that MyHFT is only available to current Harbor Freight employees. So if you’re no longer with the company, you won’t be able to access the portal.
How to Log In to Your MyHFT Account on UKG Pro
Alright, now that you’ve got everything you need, it’s time to log in to your MyHFT account! The process is pretty straightforward, but we’ll walk you through it step-by-step just to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Head over to the Harbor Freight UKG Pro employee portal at https://myhft.com. |
| 2 | On the homepage, you’ll see a login section where you’ll enter your employee username and password. |
| 3 | Your username will be a combination of the first letter of your first name, the last letter of your last name, your employee ID, and the last four digits of your SSN. So if your name is John Black and your employee ID is 490484, your username would be JB49048401111. |
| 4 | If you’ve used the old Ultipro portal before, you can use the same password you used there. If you’re a first-time user, your temporary password will be the last four digits of your SSN. So if your SSN ends in 1111, that’s your password! |
| 5 | Once you’ve entered your username and password, just click “Sign In” and you’re in! |
See? Easy peasy! If you’re logging in for the first time, you’ll probably want to change your password from a temporary one to something a bit more secure. We’ll talk about how to do that in just a bit.

Common Login Issues & Troubleshooting
Of course, even with the best instructions, sometimes things can go wrong. If you’re having trouble logging in to your MyHFT account, here are a few things to try:
- Double-check your username and password. It’s easy to miss a character or type something wrong, so make sure you’re entering everything correctly.
- Clear your browser’s cache and cookies. Sometimes, old data stored in your browser can cause issues with logging in. Clearing that out can often solve the problem.
- Try a different browser. If you’re using an unsupported browser (like an old version of Internet Explorer), try switching to a supported one like Chrome or Firefox.
- Reach out to HR. If you’ve tried everything and still can’t log in, don’t hesitate to reach out to your HR representative for help. They can check to make sure your account is set up correctly and help troubleshoot any issues.
Remember, the MyHFT portal is there to make your life easier. If you’re having trouble accessing it, don’t suffer in silence! Speak up and get the help you need.
