Accessing your personal my Social Security account

For over 10 years, my Social Security has helped many people access our programs and services online. Soon, we will change the way you sign in to all our online services - including my Social Security. You will no longer be able to sign in to your personal my Social Security account using your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to use one of our credential service providers, Login.gov or ID.me. If you already have a Login.gov or ID.me account, and can sign in to our online services, please continue using that account.
