Two-Factor Authentication to Access eRA Modules: See When You Need to Transition

August 18, 2021

Have you moved to using two-factor authentication when using eRA modules like eRA Commons, ASSIST and Internet Assisted Review? If not, read on to see when you need to make the transition and what steps you should take!

eRA had earlier set a deadline of September 15, 2021 for all eRA users to start using Login.gov instead of their eRA username and password. To give users more time, eRA is now phasing in the requirement to use two-factor authentication to access these modules. Users can choose between:

  • Login.gov, or
  • an InCommon Federated account (when an organization authenticates its own users to access eRA modules) that is compliant with NIH’s two-factor authentication standards.
