Overview
Login.gov is provided by Technology Transformation Services (TTS), and it’s a secure sign-in service used by the public to sign in to participating US Government agencies.
Participating agencies will ask their recipients to create a Login.gov account or use their existing account to securely access your information on their website or for applications like electronic signatures with Adobe Acrobat Sign.
You can use your Login.gov account to access any agency that partners with Login.gov. This streamlines the authentication process and eliminates the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords.
Adobe Acrobat Sign offers native integration with the Login.gov Self-asserted identity and authentication service to authenticate recipients in a secure way using their Basic authentication accounts (IAL1). Acrobat Sign also offers native integration with the Login.gov Verified identity and authentication service.
For signers
As a Login.gov registered user, you must provide two pieces of information to securely sign in and protect your information:
- A Password
- An authentication method (such as a one-time code sent to your phone or an authenticator app).
Using both a password and a second authentication factor makes it difficult for others to access your information.
As a recipient of an Acrobat Sign agreement, you will be prompted to authenticate with your Login.gov account to prove who you are to the organization that sent you the agreement.

For admins
Please review the Digital Identity Gateway documentation for more information on how to set up a digital identity provider for use with Acrobat Sign in your organization. To use any services from a digital identity provider with Acrobat Sign, a customer must have a commercial agreement with that provider.
To get started with the Login.gov service, contact the Login.gov Partnerships Team. You will work with Login.gov to discuss your needs and requirements at a high level. The next step is to sign an Interagency Agreement (IAA) with TTS. After the IAA agreement is signed, your organization will be able to work with Login.gov to generate the integration credentials required to configure the service in Acrobat Sign.
