Secure sign in partners (Option 3)

Signing in with DS Logon

  • DS Logon is created, owned and managed by the Department of Defense. Currently, DS Logon doesn't meet all the new federal security standards in the executive order to improve the nation's cybersecurity.

  • DS Logon on this option allows you to go to My HealtheVet and VA partner site features without signing in again. For example, you can access partner sites such as “Schedule a VA Appointment” and “VA Medical Travel Pay” without additional sign in.

  • ID.me multifactor authentication and Identity Verification is not offered using this option.

  • This DS Logon experience is similar to other VA/DoD websites.

  • If you need assistance call the DMDC Support Office at 800-538-9552

Signing in with ID.me

  • ID.me is an account that is created and commercially owned. ID.me is a contracted, trusted Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) partner that meets the new federal security standards in the executive order to improve the nation's cybersecurity.

  • Use your existing ID.me email address and password to sign in.

  • ID.me requires multifactor authentication at every sign in. Choose your preferred method. A phone is not required. At every sign in, use your already chosen multifactor authentication method or a different one.

  • Not all multifactor authentication methods offered by ID.me are available to use at the VA.

  • ID.me offers VA users online identity verification. Learn more about the types of identity verification offered.

  • ID.me doesn't use identity verification information and multifactor authentication information that may have been shared with Login.gov.

  • ID.me supports multifactor authentication for My HealtheVet and DS Logon with the new sign in. This doesn't require an ID.me account or a username and password.

  • ID.me Member Support will help you if you need assistance with multifactor authentication, verifying your identity using your phone number, or if you live outside the United States.
