I still haven't received the special mailing with the code in it.  I
wonder when I'll get it?

 >-----------------------------------------------------------------------
 >  
 > Dear USPS ® Customer,
 >
 > You are receiving this notice because our records indicate that you have 
 > previously placed your mail on hold with USPS.
 >
 > To provide you with greater security, USPS has made several changes to the 
 > online USPS Hold Mail™ process. These improvements require additional 
 > action from you before you submit your next online Hold Mail request.
 >
 > What has changed?
 >
 > To place an online Hold Mail request, you are now required to:
 >    1  Create or sign in to your USPS.com ® account 
 >    
 >    ,https://reg.usps.com/login?app=HOLDMAIL&appURL=https%3A%2F%2Fholdmail.usps.com%2Fholdmail%2F
 >    ,
 >    2  Verify your identity online through mobile phone passcode verification
 >      -OR-
 >      Request an identity verification passcode to be mailed to your address
 >
 > Once you have completed the above steps for your current address, you will not 
 > have to complete them again and can place your mail on hold by logging into 
 > your account.
 >
 > How should I plan for my next Hold Mail request?
 >
 > A request to hold your mail can be made up to 30 days in advance. If you are 
 > completing the above steps for the first time, USPS recommends scheduling your 
 > online Hold Mail request at least a week prior to placing your mail on hold to 
 > avoid any issues due to these changes.
 >
 > You will be able to verify your identity within the online USPS Hold Mail 
 > site. If you are unable to complete identity verification, you can still put 
 > your mail on hold by visiting your local Post Office™ location. For 
 > other options and more details, please visit our USPS Hold Mail FAQs 
 > ,https://faq.usps.com/s/article/USPS-Hold-Mail-The-Basics, .

 >
 > Can I verify my identity in advance of a Hold Mail request?
 >
 > Yes. Customers subscribed to the USPS Informed Delivery ® feature have 
 > satisfied the identity verification requirement, and no additional identity 
 > verification action is required. If you are not subscribed to Informed 
 > Delivery, you can sign up for the free USPS Informed Delivery feature*** - the 
 > only other USPS feature that currently offers identity verification.
 >
 > Once your identity has been verified you will not have to complete this step 
 > again for your current address and you will be able to place your mail on 
 > hold. As an Informed Delivery subscriber, you will also be able to digitally 
 > monitor your mail while it is on hold. To learn more and sign up, go to the 
 > Informed Delivery Homepage 
 > ,https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action, . See more 
 > details in the Informed Delivery FAQs 
 > ,https://www.usps.com/faqs/informeddelivery-faqs.htm, .
 > ***Please Note: Subscribing to the Informed Delivery feature is not a 
 > requirement to hold your mail. Customers who are already enrolled in the 
 > Informed Delivery feature have satisfied the identity verification requirement,
 >  and no additional identity verification action is required for these 
 > customers. Customers whose address is not eligible for the Informed Delivery 
 > feature can still place their mail on hold online, provided the address is 
 > eligible for the Hold Mail service and they successfully pass identity 
 > verification.
 >
 > What if I already scheduled a USPS Hold Mail request?
 >
 > If you placed a USPS Hold Mail request before these changes were implemented 
 > your request will not be affected.
 >
 > If you have other questions related to these changes, please reference our 
 > USPS Hold Mail FAQs ,https://faq.usps.com/s/article/USPS-Hold-Mail-The-Basics,
