What is Login.gov?

Signing in to government agencies should be simple — and secure.

All participating agencies use Login.gov for secure sign in.

You provide two pieces of information to securely sign in and protect your information. 

  • Password 
  • Authentication method (such as a one-time code sent to your phone or an authentication app) 

Using both a password and another method makes it difficult for others to access your information.

Some agencies require you to verify who you are. 

Login.gov verifies your identity for the agency. By submitting personal identifiable information (PII), such as your photo ID, you can verify that you are you and not someone pretending to be you. We only confirm that you are you and do not make any determination on eligibility for agency services.
