🔐 Happy Data Privacy Day from Login.gov! 🔐 Protecting the privacy of our user’s data is core to the work we do at Login.gov. Here are just a few ways we protect user data: We don’t allow user data to be sold, ever: Personal information that the user shares with Login.gov is not used for any purposes other than to verify that a user is who they say they are. This requirement is enforced via contracts with Login.gov’s vendors. We have a unique, privacy-preserving encryption model: Login.gov’s unique encryption model ensures that users are the only ones with the ability to control access to their own sensitive information We require Multi-Factor Authentication for all accounts: Every Login.gov account has multi-factor authentication automatically enabled by default, adding an extra layer of security. This extra layer of protection makes sure that bad actors can’t access a user’s account without a second factor, such as Face / Touch ID or a text message to their phone—even if the user’s password is guessed or stolen. At Login.gov, data privacy is a top priority.

For example, along with the password, users may be asked to enter a code sent to their email or phone. - Enhancing the E-Verify login process: - Helps prevent unauthorized account access if a system password has been compromised; and - Minimizes risks due to human error, misplaced passwords, and lost devices.

EFTPS Multi-factor Authentication Effective October 19, 2023, businesses and individual taxpayers who make payments electronically via the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) must utilize Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). The primary goal is to further enhance the website’s security and safeguard against unauthorized access threats. Fiscal Service is requiring Multifactor Authentication (MFA) for system access. The new authentication process supports Executive Order 14028, requiring all federal agency applications to implement MFA. This will provide an additional layer of security, protecting against unauthorized access threats. EFTPS is partnering with third-party credential service providers Login.gov and ID.me for MFA services. Following the rollout on October 19, 2023, when you log into the EFTPS site, you will be prompted to register and authenticate through either Login.gov or ID.me. Only then can you proceed with your standard inputs, including your EIN or SSN, PIN, and password.
