iBonds / TreasuryDirect

Post by Dieter » Mon May 08, 2023 12:14 pm

So, I logged into TreasuryDirect Sunday (5/7) — uses the new login:
* Are sent a one-time passcode (OTP) every time
(can’t register your computer)

* No more using on-screen keyboard

* Password now case sensitive, based on the capitalization used for first login


I didn’t do any changes (I’m looking to “rollover” some iBonds for the higher fixed rate) —

* My older iBonds still on the higher rate

* Gonna wait for three months at the lower rate for iBonds under 5yrs old

I appreciate the updates. I have to login soon. It’s been awhile.

Thanks for posting this Dieter. Reminded me to login to check out the new & enhanced site.

Is it just me or has the site overall gotten even worse recently? There used to be a section that listed the fixed rates of I-Bonds all the way back to inception. It looks like one can only go back to 2018 now. In my case, I have paper printouts with fixed rates that I have written next to each serial number (for all my paper bonds purchased long ago).

Still clunky after all these years.

And a video on the new iBond rate and when to maybe “roll over” 0.00 fixed rate iBonds to buy into the new 0.90 fixed rate
