E-mail from TreasuryDirect re: Access Cards

Just got the following e-mail from TreasuryDirect re: Access Cards. Did you get one?



"Dear TreasuryDirect Account Holder,

We are committed to providing a secure environment for our TreasuryDirect

we will be introducing an additional layer of security (multi-factor

You can update your address by clicking on the Account Info tab in your

Thank you for your help.

Good deal. I'm about to open an account with treasurydirect.

Logging into TD is a PITA.

Funny how it all depends on perspective. I appreciate how secure the log-in process is!

Lux - Yes, TD has added Access Cards as a new security layer. I got mine quite awhile ago, but if my memory is correct you don't purchase Treasuries on-line, so I can't imagine why you would need one.

Right scfr, I bought one I-bond on line and decided I didn't much care for it - I like having the bonds IN HAND so, I don't think I'll need one either. But who knows I may buy more online some day.
