Autumn is the season of dressing up as monsters and watching scary movies in the dark. Even though most of these tricks and treats are just for fun, some of them can be scary, and for good reason. One of the most common threats we face is identity theft. Just imagine someone stealing your information and pretending to be you. You’d have no control as this person acts in your name, spending money — and possibly, ruining your credit.
That’s one trick you can do without, which is why we’ve added an extra layer of security for our customers when they interact with us online.
Your my Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount is a safe and secure place to do business with us.
On June 10, 2017, Social Security implemented a new layer of security, asking account holders to sign into their account using a one-time code sent via text message or email. This second layer of security now requires more than a username and a password. Using two ways to identify you when you log on will help better protect your account from unauthorized use and potential identity fraud.
We strive to balance security and customer service options, and we want to ensure that our online services are both easy to use and secure. The my Social Security service has always featured a robust verification and authentication process, and it remains safe and secure.
