On July 30th, I wrote about the Social Security Administration changing its security regiment here:

https://votevance2016.blogspot.com/2016/07/the-social-security-administration.html

According to the Social Security Administration, “When you sign in at ssa.gov/myaccount with your username and password, we will ask you to add your text-enabled cell phone number. The purpose of providing your cell phone number is that, each time you log in to your account with your username and password, we will send you a one-time security code you must also enter to log in successfully to your account.

Each time you sign into your account, you will complete two steps:

Step 1: Enter your username and password.

Step 2: Enter the security code we text to your cell phone (cell phone provider’s text message and data rates may apply) [Could the Social Security Administration not do this using our e-mail address which they already have? That is what my banks do. Actually they give me a choice between e-mail and a cell phone text].

The process of using a one-time security code in addition to a username and password is one form of ‘multifactor authentication,’ which means we are using more than one method to make sure you are the actual owner of your account.

If you do not have a text-enabled cell phone or you do not wish to provide your cell phone number, you will not be able to access your my Social Security account.”

I wrote: “I went to the account this afternoon to wipe out my account. There is no way I am going to voluntarily give the Obama Administration or any part of it my private cell phone number. There is also no way I am going to pay a texting fee to see my private information. I don’t care if the cost is only 2 cents. I don’t trust this Administration at all. It is, in my opinion, the MOST corrupt Administration in our history!”

It seems that I am not the only one who had concerns/complained about the changes.

I received the following from the Social Security Administration yesterday.

“On July 30, 2016, we began requiring you to sign into your my Social Security account using a one-time code sent via text message. We implemented this new layer of security, known as ‘multifactor authentication,’ in compliance with a Presidential executive order [Was the order constitutional? It is only constitutional if Congress by law granted him the authority to deal with internet security issues within the Departments of the federal government.] to improve the security of consumer financial transactions. SSA implemented the improvements aggressively because we have a fundamental responsibility to protect the public’s personal information.

However, multifactor authentication inconvenienced or restricted access to some of our account holders [Afraid to say how many?]. We’re listening to your concerns and are responding by temporarily rolling back this mandate [How unusual for the Obama Administration? Temporarily? It’s coming back?].

As before July 30, you can now access your secure account using only your username and password. We highly recommend the extra security text message option [Of course they do!], but it is not required. We’re developing an alternative authentication option, besides text messaging, that we’ll begin implementing within the next six months.

We strive to balance security and customer service options, and we want to ensure that our online services are both easy to use and secure [Right?]. The my Social Security service has always featured a robust verification and authentication process, and it remains safe and secure.

We regret any inconvenience you may have experienced [Right?].

There is no requirement that you access your personal my Social Security account as a result of the steps we are taking. However, when you do access your account, we encourage you to sign up for the extra security text message option. You can access your account by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount.”

I went to my account and got in without a text message. What a shock! The Social Security Administrated backed down, at least for the moment. You can fight a federal bureaucracy and win! One small victory for the American people!

You can not win the election if you do not run for the office. You can not win the election if you do not get on the ballot.

Vote Darrell Castle for President. The Constitutional Conservative!
