TreasuryDirect: Prepare for ID.me – Your New Way to Log In

TreasuryDirect will transition to ID.me for login authentication starting September 2026, with the new system becoming mandatory on October 28, 2026. ID.me is a government-verified identity provider that will replace the traditional TreasuryDirect login and enhance security through robust identity verification. Users will need to set up an ID.me account using their Social Security number and valid government-issued photo ID.
