Soon, you will no longer be able to sign in with your Social Security username. You will need either a Login.gov or ID.me account. Now, when you sign in with your Social Security username, you will be asked to create an account with Login.gov.

For step-by-step instructions on how to make the transition, watch this video.

We encourage you to sign in to transition your account now - it only takes a few minutes. If you already have Login.gov, or ID.me account, you do not have to create another one.
