ID.me
This is now the authentication system for logging into mySocialSecurity and the IRS.
It is a third-party company handling persons with foreign addresses.
Login.gov handles USA residents.
As of 15 Apr I am no longer allowed to login to ssa.gov with username and password, but am directed to ID.me.
As of 22 May, I discovered I can also login to my IRS account after logging into ID.me. I did not even know I had an IRS account.
To sign up
To verify identity, you need:
- SSN
- two of the following:
- passport
- national id card
- govt-issued id with photo (driver license?)
- secondary:
- utility bill
- bank statement
- proof of non-US-addr
- lease
