TreasuryDirect to Require ID.me Login by October 28
TreasuryDirect: Prepare for ID.me – Your New Way to Log In
TreasuryDirect is upgrading its login system with ID.me, a government-verified identity provider, to enhance security and streamline access. Starting September 13, 2026, users can begin using ID.me, and it becomes mandatory on October 28, 2026. To set up an account, you'll need your SSN and a government-issued photo ID. Existing ID.me users may need extra verification. The change aims to protect sensitive financial information and simplify access to multiple government services.
Logging in with the ID.me verification process adds a layer of assurance that only you can manage your TreasuryDirect account(s) and securities, so your sensitive personal and financial information is protected as you conduct digital transactions.
