Multifactor authentication

Multifactor authentication is an extra layer of protection on your sign-in account. It helps us make sure that it’s you trying to use your account—and not someone pretending to be you. It’s also called 2-factor authentication or MFA. 
Each time you sign in to a VA website or app, you’ll use multifactor authentication to confirm you’re you. You’ll do this using a device that only you should have, such as your mobile phone.  
You’ll get a unique code through a method of your choice. Options may include an app like Google Authenticator, security key, text message, phone call, or backup codes. You’ll enter the code to use your account. Login.gov may offer other options like face or touch unlock for signing in securely and privately.

Personal Information and Choice
"Personal information" is information about a natural person that identifies
 or describes an individual, including, but not limited to, his or her name, social
 security number, physical description, home address, home telephone number, education,
 financial matters, and medical or employment history, readily identifiable to that
 specific individual. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal
 information, however, it is considered "electronically collected personal information".

According to Government Code § 11015.5, "Electronically collected personal
 information" means any information that is maintained by an agency that identifies
 or describes an individual user, including, but not limited to, his or her name, social
 security number, physical description, home address, home telephone number, education,
 financial matters, medical or employment history, password, electronic mail address,
 and information that reveals any network location or identity, but excludes any information
 manually submitted to a state agency by a user, whether electronically or in written
 form, and information on or relating to individuals who are users, serving in a business
 capacity, including, but not limited to, business owners, officers, or principals of
 that business.

"Electronically collected personal information" we automatically collect
 includes your domain name or Internet Protocol address, and statistical information
 about which web pages you visit. If you voluntarily participate in an activity that
 asks for specific information (i.e. completing a request for assistance, personalizing
 the content of the web site, sending an e-mail or participating in a survey) more detailed
 data will be collected. If you choose not to participate in these activities, your
 choice will in no way affect your ability to use any other feature of the web site.

If any type of personal information is requested on the web site or volunteered by
 the user, state law, including Information Practices Act of 1977, Government Code Section
 11015.5, and the federal Privacy Act of 1974 may protect it. However, this information
 may be a public record once you provide it, and may be subject to public inspection
 and copying if not otherwise protected by federal or state law.

Verify your identity
 | Login.gov
Some government applications require identity verification. This additional layer of security requires you to prove you are you - and not someone pretending to be you.
If you are under 18 years of age, you may not be able to verify your identity for a Login.gov account. If you have trouble verifying your identity, please contact the partner agency to find out what you can

Taking a photo of yourself
Some services need you to take a photo of yourself with a phone to verify your identity online. If you don’t have a phone with a camera, you can verify your identiy in person.

Privacy Policy
Effective 5/23/17
The California Department of Technology, which runs CA.gov, is committed to promoting and protecting the privacy
 rights of individuals, as enumerated in Article 1 of the California Constitution, the Information Practices Act of
 1977, and other state and federal laws.
It is the policy of the Department of Technology to limit the collection and safeguard the privacy of personal
 information collected or maintained by the Department. The Department of Technologyâs information management
 practices conform to the requirements of the Information Practices Act (Civil Code Section 1798 et seq.), the
 Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.), Government Code Sections 11015.5 and 11019.9, and other
 applicable laws pertaining to information privacy. This Privacy Policy only applies to the CA.gov web site run by
 the Department of Technology.
âPersonal informationâ is information about a natural person that identifies or describes an

 identifiable to that specific individual. A domain name or Internet Protocol address is not considered personal
 information; however, it is considered âelectronically collected personal information.â

Signing In To VA.gov | Veterans Affairs
ID.me creates and maintains your account. To learn how ID.me protects your information, read their privacy policy. Read the privacy policy on the ID.me website 
Both Login.gov and ID.me meet modern security standards. Both accounts protect your data so only you can access and change your stored information.  
Both Login.gov and ID.me let you use a single, secure account to access your VA benefits and services. You can use either account to manage some other government benefits and services (like Social Security benefits).

What’s multifactor authentication and why does VA.gov use it?

Multifactor authentication is an extra layer of protection on your account. It helps us make sure that it’s you trying to access your account—and not a hacker. It’s also sometimes called 2-factor authentication.
Each time you sign in to a VA website or app, you’ll use multifactor authentication to verify you’re you. You’ll do this using a device that only you should have, such as your mobile phone. 
You’ll get a unique code by text message or phone call, or through another option you choose. Other options may include a supporting app like Google Authenticator, a security key, or backup codes. You’ll then enter that code to access your account. 
This way, even if someone were to guess or steal your username and password, multifactor authentication can stop them from accessing your account.

Learn more about multifactor authentication on the ID.me website

Why did I get an email asking me to confirm my email address?

We need to confirm your email address before we can give you access to your personal information.
You’ll get an email from Login.gov or ID.me asking you to confirm your email address. 

I didn’t get a confirmation email. What should I do?

Check your inbox and your spam folder. You should have a confirmation email from the account provider you chose (either Login.gov or ID.me).
