How to Set up an Login.gov Account

What is Login.gov?
Login.gov is a secure government service used by the public to sign in to participating government agencies. With a Login.gov account, you can use the same username and password to access any agency site that partners with Login.gov.

Why is USDA using Login.gov?
Login.gov is a shared service trusted by government agencies that allows the public to use one account and password for multiple participating government agencies. In addition to your password, Login.gov requires that you set up at least one authentication method to keep your account secure. This is multi-factor authentication (MFA). Login.gov uses MFA as an added layer of protection to secure your information. Using both a password and another method makes it difficult for others to access your information.

What You Need to Know:
Step-by-step instructions on creating a Login.gov account linked to eAuth are available in the NIFA Reporting System Registration Guide. If you already have an eAuth account, you will need to click “yes” when prompted to link your account to Login.gov. This can be done by selecting the Login.gov sign-in option from the USDA Login page.

When you create a Login.gov account, along with your email, two pieces of information will be requested to securely sign in and protect your information. 

  • Password 
  • Authentication method (such as a one-time code sent to your phone or an authentication app) 

Once the Login.gov account is connected to eAuth, follow these steps to access NRS:

  • Navigate to https://nrs.nifa.usda.gov/. If the “Select your user type to continue” page displays, select Customer.
  • When the “Customer Login” page displays, select Login.gov.
  • USDA eAuthentication page displays, input your Email address and Password, select Sign in.
