What is Login.gov?

Executive Order (EO) 14028 - "Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity" (issued May 12, 2021) requires agencies to enhance cybersecurity and software supply chain integrity.

Multi-factor authentication (sometimes referred to as "two-factor authentication") adds an additional layer of security to your account by requiring another piece of information to sign in.

Authentication methods come in different forms, and you will be able to choose the form of authentication that works best for you. Examples of options you may be familiar with include receiving a short code via a text message or a phone call.

Nothing will happen to the information stored in your IAT profile. Once you set up a Login.gov account, you will continue to use IAT to access your profile, training records, classes taught, and all the other areas and roles you normally use within IAT.

You will need a valid email address. Preferably an email address that you will always have access to. For example, if you are a seasonal employee who loses access to your work email during certain times of the year, we suggest you use a personal email address that you always have acccess to. Whatever email address you use to create your Login.gov account it should match one of the email addresses listed in your IAT profile.

No. If you have an existing Login.gov account, for example to access another government systems, you can use that existing Login.gov account to connect to your existing IAT profile or create a new IAT profile if you are a new IAT user. The email address listed in your IAT profile needs to match the email address associated with your Login.gov account.

To change your authentication method, access your Login.gov account and review the authentication methods offered. Please note if you have lost access to your authentication method, then you must delete your Login.gov account and start with a new registration. For your security, there is a 24-hour waiting period before you can re-register a new account with Login.gov.

Yes. You can use an international phone number to receive SMS and/or phone calls when setting up your authentication method. Please refer to Login.gov's International phone number support page to see if Login.gov supports SMS and/or phone calls for your country.

If you receive a message that the email address you are entering when you are registering a new Login.gov account is already registered, this simply means that you have previously created a Login.gov account.

You may no longer use one email address for multiple IAT profiles. Each IAT profile must contain a unique email address. If you need multiple accounts, each of those accounts must have a seperate email address and a seperate Login.gov account.
