Case Study
VA.gov

VA.gov

At the beginning of 2016, ID.me was selected by the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide the login, identity proofing, and Multi-Factor Authentication for VA.gov, the VA's healthcare and benefit portal. With ID.me’s support, VA became the first federal agency to successfully issue high-assurance NIST 800-63-2 Level of Assurance 3 (LOA3) credentials at scale to citizens. ID.me also helped the VA strengthen existing logins with Multi-Factor Authentication to meet federal identity standards.
