Why we’re making this change:
• To reduce the number of sign-in options Veterans need to choose from—just as Veterans have asked us to do.
• To continue to protect all Veterans’ information and benefits—and meet the latest federal security standards.
What this change means for you:
• After March 31, 2025, you won’t be able to sign in to VA websites and apps with a My HealtheVet user ID and password. Don’t worry. Your My HealtheVet health portal isn’t going away. We’re just changing the way you sign in.
• After September 30, 2025, you won’t be able to sign in with a DS Logon username and password.
• You’ll need to use either a Login.gov or ID.me account to sign in to VA.gov, VA mobile apps, and other VA online services.
Learn how to create a Login.gov or ID.me account:
You’ll need to use a unique email address and add multifactor authentication (MFA) as an added layer of protection for your account.
Not sure if you already have a Login.gov or ID.me account?
Try creating a new account with your email address. If you already have one, Login.gov or ID.me will help you reset your password.
