Updates to USDA eAuthentication Login
The production deployment of the new eAuth user interface and Login.gov for public customers that was scheduled for the evening of Monday, July 24, 2023, has been postponed due to the recent report of an issue with a Mission Area business process. We are working with the Mission Area to identify solutions to address this issue. Updates will be provided when a new deployment date has been identified.
We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we work to resolve this issue.
