TreasuryDirect will require ID.me - concerns

I've been using TreasuryDirect for years. Upon moving to Germany, I tried to change my address, but there is no option online to add a foreign address. Like many expats, a family members address has been used for such things. Two days ago, TreasuryDirect announced that they will require the use of ID.me. I am concerned that signing up with ID.me with my german address and number will case the account to be frozen. Asking an LLM/AI (yes, poor advice), I was advised that trying to log in from Germany with ID.me may cause issues/freezing of the account. Using my voip number is the USA and USA address will most likely be an issue. I am wondering, is it best to withdraw all my money before the end of October or am I overthinking things? Are there anyways to add an non-us address/number? What are other expats of Treasurydirect thinking about the new change?
