The TreasuryDirect site makes me want to give the authority to the USDS/18F to proactively come in and say we're taking over your public facing website infrastructure to any executive branch agency. There's no excuse for something to look and behave like it hasn't been touched since 1996.

It’s been touched since then. Back in those days, their “MFA” was a wallet card that you had the match up for a code. It was like the old copy protection schemes used for games like Sim City.
