Do Social Security and Medicare use different passwords?

[question everything]

Last year I had to have a new password, via Login.gov for Social Security.

But now when I tried to log in to Medicare it did not recognize it, had to come with a new one.

Now I wonder whether Social Security will recognize it. I log in only twice a year, to find the next year benefits and to get the SSA-1099SM.

1. Don't know if this helps

but I have to use my ssa.gov login which from there I can get into my medicare (no new login required).

2. login.gov allows you to log onto any of the goverment website provided you have set them up that way.

It's possible that you had not done so on Medicare before but did on ssa.gov. It should work on both, thats the whole point of a login.gov account.

3. No

It’s all one site

4. Groan. Meaning I will have to use the new one from EFTPS - estimated payment and SS

5. Not sure what

that means. I use the Gov.id login and all my information is there. Why would Medicare be separate? I don’t understand. I’m sorry I’m so dense!🥹

6. You are not dense. I don't understand it either. I know that I had to make a different password

for a chat in Medicare.
