How to create a login.gov account

You need to create a login.gov account to sign into USAJOBS and access your profile information. Your old USAJOBS username and password won’t work anymore.

You’ll need to:

  • Create a login.gov account—you only need to do this once.
  • Enter an email address - use the same email address you use for USAJOBS (your primary or secondary email address), if you have an existing profile with us.
  • Create a new password.
  • Have a working phone number (mobile or landline) or an authentication application installed on a device—login.gov will send you a one-time security code..

Once you create a login.gov account, you’ll come back to USAJOBS to link to your existing profile, or create a new profile if you don’t have one.

If you have limited access to a phone or cell service, you can set up an authentication app or use a free text messaging app.

Create your account.
