What SSP manages
USPS says employees can use SSP to update the password used for online HR applications, add or change an email address, edit MFA preferences and manage security questions.
MFA applies to SSP too
USPS extended MFA requirements to SSP in 2023, so the same broader account-protection practices apply.
Use SSP for account security, not payroll
For pay, benefits or tax elections, employees generally move into employee applications such as PostalEASE or MyHR after secure access.
Review recovery information regularly
Keeping recovery channels current helps reduce account-recovery problems after changing phones, email addresses or devices.
Frequently asked questions
Is SSP the same as PostalEASE?
No. SSP is primarily for account/security profile management, while PostalEASE is used for specific payroll and benefit transactions.
Does SSP use MFA?
