Your PIV card is not a "connection" between your card and IAT, your card and Login.gov, or your card and your work e-email address. It is an "authentication method" only. Other authentication methods are "recieving a text message with a code", or using an "authentication phone app" like Microsoft Authenticator.
99.9% of the hundreds of help desk requests we have received were because the users Login.gov account had the users personal e-mail address in it, not their government e-mail address. To make the connection, the e-mail address in both IAT.gov and Login.gov need to match.
