Sign in Changes

After January 31, 2025, you will only be able to sign into My HealtheVet, VA.gov, VA mobile apps and other VA websites by using login.gov or ID.me to manage your health care and benefits online.

We’re moving to a simpler, more modern sign-in experience, with 2 secure sign-in account options (Login.gov and ID.me).

Create your account now: www.va.gov/sign-in-changes

If you need in-person assistance, it is available! Make an appointment, 937-268-6511 ext. 7157. Assistance is available at  Dayton VA Medical Center,  room 1C-172 and all CBOCs. 

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.

Don’t worry. Your My HealtheVet health portal isn’t going away. You’ll just need to sign in to it with a Login.gov or ID.me account.
