The Census Bureau hopes to achieve these goals through the adoption of industry best practices and popular solutions in use across the internet. One element of a user’s online survey response experience is logging in to the survey. The Census Bureau plans to request Office or Management and Budget (OMB) approval to conduct a test of various log in and authentication methods for surveys that would offer additional protection to respondent data, while facilitating respondents’ ability to return to the survey on multiple occasions without having to reenter data. This test is referred to as the 2025 Census Household Survey Test. The Census Bureau proposes to test four log in and authentication methods: the current log in method used by surveys like the American Community Survey (ACS) and three additional methods. The current method requires users to enter a 12-digit code that is sent to them in the mail from the Census Bureau in addition to the use of a generated 4-digit PIN for re-entry, with security questions for individuals who forget their PIN. The three additional methods require user verification through a two-factor authentication process, where a user would provide information like an email, phone number, or account log in (e.g., Microsoft) and then enter an 8-digit verification code that has been sent to them in email or text in addition to a 12digit code that has been mailed to them by the Census Bureau. The test will study which industrystandard authentication methods works best for respondents in a dependent survey response setting by measuring log in success. The test will be designed to measure log in success for subpopulations, including historically undercounted populations. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Frequency: This is a one-time survey. Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. Legal Authority: Title 13, U.S. Code, Section 193. This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov.
