Required Use of Login.gov to Access eRA Commons, ASSIST, IAR and Commons Mobile Coming in 2021
A new secure two-factor authentication login method will be coming in 2021 for all users of eRA Commons, Assist, Internet Assisted Review (IAR) and Commons Mobile. This login method involves users creating an account at login.gov, a centralized government portal, and associating their eRA Commons or ASSIST account with it. This will then allow log in to multiple systems using the same login.gov credentials while enhancing the security and integrity of access to data in eRA systems.
- This requirement will be phased in first for reviewers, meeting by meeting starting with review meetings effective 2/1/21. As reviewers are enabled for meetings, their IAR accounts will be transitioned to require login.gov.
- Users of eRA Commons, Commons Mobile and ASSIST are encouraged to begin the switchover to login.gov now, before the mandatory deadline of 9/15/21
See the eRA notice for additional information including what is required if you already have an eRA Commons account or if you do not have an eRA Commons account.
