Creating a login.gov account is a one-time task. After you create your login.gov account and link it with Services Online, you will be able to sign into Services Online using your login.gov account. To create a login.gov account, you’ll need to:

1. Go to Services Online

Navigate to Services Online homepage and click on the button that says “Sign in with LOGIN.GOV.”

2. Create an account

You will only need to do this once.

If you already have a login.gov account, you don’t need to create a second one. Use your existing login.gov email address, password, plus one of the two-factor authentication methods to sign into Services Online. Then skip to Step 2 – Link your Services Online Account with Login.gov Account.

3. Enter an email address.

Your new username for signing into Services Online will be your email address.

4. Confirm your email

5. Create a strong password

Passwords must be at least twelve characters. There are no other restrictions. You can even use more than one word with spaces to get to 12 characters. Try using a phrase or a series of words that only you recognize.

Your login.gov password should be different from passwords you use for other accounts such as your bank account or email. Using the same password for many accounts makes identity theft easier.

6. Select your method of authentication

Using authentication methods keeps your account more secure than using only a password. You can choose between text messages, phone calls. or one of the other options accepted by login.gov.

7. Test your authentication method

You will then be asked to use your authentication method to confirm that it works and verify who you are.

8. Select Agree and Continue to Services Online to link your account
