Online Login to Social Security Now Upgraded for Added Protection for Users

You may have recently heard that an estimated 2.9 billion social security numbers may have been stolen from the result of online hackers.

In an effort to help protect users, the Social Security Administration has beefed up its online security with a new login requirement. If you have created an online account with the SSA website prior to September 18, 2021, you will be required to move your account to a Login.gov or ID.me account. The Social Security Administration is working to simplify the login process to their online portal, while also providing a greater deal of security and protection to its users. LEARN MORE

If you only signed up with a username and email address with the SSA website, you should have received an e-mail to set up a Login.gov or ID.me account to use to login. For more information about this change and how to update your login, click here.

Whether you are years away from retirement or are already collecting SS benefits, it is recommended that you create a my Social Security account on the SSA website. These accounts are free and can help you estimate your SS benefits, track your earnings history, and even request a replacement SS card.
