Prepare for VA's 2025 secure sign-in changes

VA transitions to simple online sign-in login.gov
By Aubrey McQueen, Public Affairs Specialist

In 2025, you’ll need to start using a Login.gov or ID.me account to sign in.

Why this matters to you

We’re moving to a simpler, more modern sign-in experience with 2 secure sign-in account options (Login.gov and ID.me). After January 31, 2025, you won’t be able to sign in to VA websites or apps with a My HealtheVet user ID and password. After September 30, 2025, you won’t be able to sign in with a DS Logon username and password.

 

Create a Login.gov or ID.me account now

We encourage you to create a Login.gov or ID.me account now. If you already have one of these accounts but haven’t yet used it, start now so you have time to get used to it before the change. With Login.gov or ID.me, you’ll have access to all the same information and services you use today.
