I tried to sign up for this service and failed due to some identification challenge issue USPS was unable to explain. The online sign up process went along smoothly, but I was asked to bring a slip printed from the online process plus valid identification to a post office for in-person verification. Brought the documents and still was unable to validate my identity. The robot behind the counter could not explain why the application was rejected. Curious how identity thieves made could complete an application when I, with all proper documentation in person at a post office, could not.

I just signed up for this (all online, never had to talk to anyone) maybe 6 months or more ago. I used it when it was "MyUSPS" too. Neither (at the time) required any external forms of anything. I just created my account, put my address in and that was that. Then I lost that accounts info, or something weird happened with it and I could no longer login to it. so I created another account for the same address. that validated immediately too. I don't remember seeing any e-mails or anything notifying me that a second account is now getting those e-mails. There's a chance there was something, but I don't remember it. Maybe I signed up for it before they had those extra protections in there, but that's my experience so far.
