Logging in to Your Social Security Account? You May Find a Surprise.

SSA sign-in change will affect millions of My Social Security users.

▶️*** By  Andy Markowitz, AARP. Published July 17, 2024. ***◀️

Millions of people who access Social Security services and track their benefits online will soon need to change their login procedure to continue using their My Social Security accounts.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) announced July 12 that users who established accounts before Sept. 18, 2021, using a now-defunct sign-up method will be required to transition those accounts to Login.gov, a secure sign-in service administered by the federal government.

I just signed in using .gov. I followed the steps and didn't have any problems.

I have been trying to get into Login.gov for about a month now.

For the 2-factor authentication, it lists several products to generate time sensitive user codes for securely logging in.

The problem is, when I enter the approved-app-authenticator's codes on the Login.gov site, I continuously receive notice that they are wrong. My phone is accurately in time with Time.gov, so that isn't the issue.  The one thing I find bizarre is that all of the authenticators ask for the QR code of the website asking for the 2FA code.  I searched Login.gov and they don't seem to have one.

What am I missing?
