The FAA is implementing a new authentication process for all users of the Designee Management System (DMS). Starting August 4, 2025, all non-FAA users will be required to log in using Login.gov credentials.

This is a critical change that affects all designees and applicants accessing DMS. To support a smooth transition, we’ve summarized the key information and steps below. We’ve also attached the official Login.gov Instructions and User Guide for your convenience.

🔐 What is Login.gov?

Login.gov is a secure sign-in service used by many U.S. government agencies. It provides enhanced security through multi-factor authentication, allowing you to use a single login across multiple federal platforms.

📅 Important Dates

July 15, 2025: Users can begin creating their Login.gov accounts and linking them to their existing MyAccess profiles.
August 4, 2025: Login.gov authentication will become mandatory for DMS access. Logging in with MyAccess alone will no longer be supported.

✅ Who Needs to Act?

Current DMS Users: You must create a Login.gov account using the same email tied to your MyAccess account, then link the two profiles.
New Users: If you don’t yet have a MyAccess/DMS account, you’ll need to create a Login.gov account first, then use it to request DMS access.

🛠️ Help Desk Support

The DMS team will not provide support for Login.gov issues. Instead, a separate help desk has been set up for assistance related specifically to Login.gov accounts:

🌐 Visit: Contact Login.gov
☎️ Phone: (844) 875-6446 – Available 24/7

⚠️ Do not call for Login.gov support until after August 4, unless you're setting up your account before then.
