Summary: This video provides a step-by-step guide on how to log in to your TreasuryDirect account using a new security protocol that includes an account number, a one-time passcode (OTP) sent to your email, and your password.
The video demonstrates the updated login process for TreasuryDirect accounts. Users first click the 'Log In' button on the homepage, then the 'Next' button to proceed to the account number entry page. They enter their case-insensitive account number (which starts with a letter followed by nine numbers) and click 'Submit'. Next, a one-time passcode (OTP) is sent to the registered email. The video advises copying and pasting the case-sensitive OTP, noting it's valid for 24 hours or one successful use, and three failed attempts will lock the account. Users must enter an OTP every time they log in. Finally, after entering the OTP, users are prompted to enter their password, verifying their personalized image and caption, before successfully accessing their account summary page.
