Make the Switch to Login.gov
Switch to Login.gov Today!
Don’t wait -- sign up and make the switch to Login.gov today! Login.gov provides added security benefits of multi-factor authentication to protect your personal information.
What you need to know:
The second phase of transitioning USDA customers from eAuth to Login.gov will begin the evening of Monday, March 25, 2024. The target goal for the final phase of transitioning customers with existing eAuth accounts to Login.gov for access to USDA is the end of September 2024. Once implemented, Login.gov will be the mandatory method for accessing all USDA eAuth protected applications.
How it will work:
Login.gov will continue to be optional during this second phase; however, it is highly recommended transitioning to Login.gov for the added security benefits.
- Customers who log in with eAuth accounts will be prompted at every login to link their account with Login.gov.
- Select the “Link with Login.gov” option to create a Login.gov account and link with eAuth for access to USDA sites.
- Select the “Not Now” option to go to the application.
What is Login.gov and Why is USDA using it?
Login.gov is a secure government service that allows the public to use a single account and password for multiple government agencies. In addition to your password, Login.gov requires you to set up at least one second factor authentication method to secure your account as part of their multi-factor authentication.
