   For those who can't log-in to your #SSA account:

   I spent the last three days trying every single possible log-in to get in and failed.

   I then wondered if it was browser specific.

   So I switched from firefox (my main browser) to Brave. I was able to use the login.gov for that browser.

   I tested on a few other Chromium browsers (based on google's chrome code), and they worked with login.gov

   Tested on browser made with firefox's code. None worked.

   Firefox worked prior to Feb. 1st. #Disability

     I point this out as an alternative to try.

     An observation that may or may not be related:

     The push to implement AI in government and alter how log-ins function: https://www.404media.co/things-are-going-to-get-intense-how-a-musk-ally-plans-to-push-ai-on-the-government/

     My thoughts on browsers: Firefox has built in security and add-ons which can block ads, LLM/AI scripts, trackers, and the like.

     Chromium security depends on the browser. Most don't have equivalent security add-ons. Brave is supposedly most secure of the bunch, but it's security doesn't match up to Firefox.
