The Real Deal Spiel
April 2, 2025

Upon logging into mySSA, I couldn't get a code from my authenticator app & the mySSA login kept refreshing back to the same page asking to open my app to get the code. Hence, I couldn't complete login. Tried taking advice from FAQ... failed, but went through a guided verification process that worked wonderfully. The online aspect of verification of two forms of identification via upload of images & a virtual phone call fared well! Top-notch customer service & company you can trust.

Title says it all, set it up a couple of years ago when SS admin said they were going to require this or yada,yada, yada. I've been getting a LOT of useless, and unwanted, advertisements from them between now and then. This time when I needed to log in to SS to get my payment info, etc for taxes, I had to "update" my info with a whole buncha stuff, picture of ID, Picture of me, etc. colossal pain in the $#*!, BUT ULTIMATELY IT WORKED, and I'm Glad...Unless I have to do it again.

I found the experience of setting up an account to be better than using social security's website, but this a low bar to get over. Be prepared to have your smart phone, a pc, and a lot of patience. I believe that a typical senior citizen will have problems. This my opinion relating to my experience, I find it strange that I am ask to review my experience and then threatened with breaking the law.
