ssa.govGovernmentNot yet

US Social Security Administration does not currently support authenticator-app (TOTP) two-factor authentication. US Social Security Administration does offer 2FA via SMS text message and email code — better than nothing, but an authenticator app is the more secure option if US Social Security Administration adds it.

2FA methods US Social Security Administration supports

  • SMS text message
  • Email code

US Social Security Administration does not offer an authenticator-app (TOTP) option yet. Authenticator apps are safer than SMS, so it's worth requesting.

How to keep your US Social Security Administration account secure

Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method US Social Security Administration offers, and stay alert to phishing. See US Social Security Administration's official security documentation ↗. If US Social Security Administration adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use MS Authenticator App.
