VA Website Sign-In Changes Coming in January

The VA is moving to a simpler, more modern sign-in experience in 2025, with 2 secure sign-in account options (Login.gov and ID.me).

Here’s what will change for Veterans and beneficiaries like you:

After January 31, 2025, you won’t be able to sign in to VA.gov, VA mobile apps, or other VA online services 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.
You’ll have 2 sign-in account options that meet modern security standards: a Login.gov or ID.me account. You’ll be able to use your account to sign in to VA.gov, VA mobile apps, and any other VA online service to manage your VA benefits and care.
You’ll need to use a unique email address and set up multifactor authentication for your account as part of the requirements of both Login.gov and ID.me.
