Overview

To enhance EHBs’ security, Applicants, Grantees, Service Providers, Consultants, and TAs will use Login.gov and two-factor authentication when logging into the EHBs starting May 26, 2023. This page walks through creating a Login.gov account and will have additional information added in the future with steps on logging in to the EHBs. 

If you have an existing Login.gov account with the same email address you use in the EHBs, you do not need to create a new account in Login.gov.

Be sure your Login.gov account is active and the same email address you use in the EHBs. If your account is not set up with the same email address used in the EHBs, you will need to create a new Login.gov account.

For additional assistance on Login.gov please reference the Login.gov Help Page or Contact the Login.gov Support Team
