VA’s secure sign-in changes and a chat with Blake Hall – Army Veteran and ID.me CEO |

In 2025, you’ll need to start using a Login.gov or ID.me account to sign in for all VA websites and apps. In this episode of The BLUF we'll give you the bottom-line up front on these changes. We’ll also have a chat with Army Veteran Blake Hall, CEO of ID.me, about secure sign-in options, digital wallets, and why information security is important to Veterans now more than ever.
