Why You Should Sign Up for a My Social Security Account Now.
On April 1st, the government will increase its requirements for proving your identity for any changes to Social Security. In some cases, you may have to go to your local Social Security office.
They claim that this is not a problem if you have a My Social Security account. I believe it is best to create the account now so you won't have to worry about it later. With a My Social Security account, you can access your Social Security benefits online. Signing up took me about 25 minutes.
Part of this process involves creating an account with login.gov. They asked me to set up two-factor authentication, which was no problem. The catch is that they also recommend downloading an authentication app on my phone as an additional way to verify my identity. I tried this, but I had no idea how the app works, so I skipped this step.
