    Had a problem logging in. Got locked out from trying an incorrect password a few times. The website said I needed to wait 24 hour. On Friday night between 9-10 PM is when this happened. It’s Sunday at 1PM and I am still locked out.

    How do you open a my social security account while living overseas? The physical address box does not allow for an overseas physical living address. I have a US mailing address but no physical living address.

    Trying to create an online account but does not allow to proceed without a middle name. Social Security card does not have a middle name just 2 last names. Please advise.

    I have been trying to log onto my account for the last 1.5 weeks and the system will not allow me to go in. It just keeps spinning and nothing is happening. When I try to enter creating a new account the system says I have an account but will not let me in. Then it comes up with I have tryied more than 3 times and have to wait 24 hours. This is nonsense. what must I do to get into my account.

    I locked myself out of my account and I received a reset code in the mail. Do I use the reset code as the password because that is not working for me and I do not want to lock myself out again.

    Creating an account in My Social Security requires that I have an activation code and perhaps a password. How do I find out what they are?
