"Social Security Shifts to Login.gov: Update Your Account Now"
The Social Security Administration is requiring users who created a my Social Security account before September 18, 2021, to switch to a Login.gov or ID.me account to continue accessing their information. This transition aims to simplify secure sign-ins and reduce wait times for customer service. Approximately 46 million out of 86 million account holders need to make this switch, though no final deadline has been set. Existing Login.gov or ID.me users do not need to take any action.
