Creating a SS Account

https://secure.ssa.gov/RIL/SiView.action provides two options for creating an account: Login.gov and ID.me. Are there any pros or cons for each one? For example, has the government said anything about phasing out one? I don't want to run the gauntlet of creating an account and then have the SSA or other federal agencies discontinue using it.

 

Thanks!

    I sign in through .gov.

    You should be notified of any changes that are made if you have a SS card and have created an online account.

    Thanks! I created an account using Login.gov. Took just a couple of minutes and was pretty straightforward.
