Don't know which option to sign in with?
You have the option to sign in using Login.gov, ID.me, or Social Security Username account to access Social Security's online services.
If you don't have an account, you can create one with Login.gov or ID.me now.
Login.gov
Login.gov is a U.S government sign-in service that provides a simple, secure, and private way for the public to access government websites. You can use your Login.gov account to access your Social Security benefits, services, and information in a single, secure account. You can also use your Login.gov account to manage other government benefits and services.
ID.me
ID.me is a single sign-on provider that meets the U.S. government's online identity proofing and authentication requirements. Please consider using ID.me if you live outside the United States.
Please note that you do NOT need to create a new ID.me credential specifically for Social Security purposes. You can use one ID.me account to access both government and business services.
Social Security Username
This applies if you created an account with Social Security prior to September 18, 2021, and sign in with a username versus your email address. Starting September 2024, these accounts will be retired, so we encourage you to consider setting up an account with Login.gov or ID.me.
