There are three... THREE different login methods on the social security website. User/password, login.gov, and ID.me.
I can't tell you how confusing this is for my 70 year old father. I think login.gov is a fantastic idea but who ever decided to support three different login methods on a website designed for senior citizens .... AHHHHH. It's like torture for your chosen demographic and their children.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoSocial Security began with their own identity provider (user/pass). They then onboarded ID.me before Login.gov was accelerated by GSA and USDS. Login.gov, once plugged into SSA, was promoted to primary identity provider (circa September 2021). At some point, user/pass and ID.me will be deprecated (user/pass signups are no longer enabled).
