69. I was not able to log in the other day with my old username and password (made five years ago).

I had to make a new Login.gov "account" to sign in. I did not want to have to do this, as I fear it is only going to be used against me, and now they have my cell phone number. Before I got a code through email (which I don't care they have, it's always at home). I didn't have to upload anything. I think this part may only be for new to SS people. The government knows damned well who I am.
