The 3 method of login on Social Security

Post by gavinsiu »

Social security have multiple login methods. On the web pate, there is the site login and then login.gov and ID.me. What are the pros and cons of each. I notice that they seemed to have deprecated the direct method for user after sep 18, 2021.

I have setup login.gov for my mom. This is because the site login sends an token to the user's email. My mom is unable to login because she can't figure out how to read the email and copy the code. Login.gov prompts the user for a TOTP code which can be autofill by the password manager.
