About XMS and Login.gov

XMS (External User Management System) is an access management solution for a set of Credential Service Providers (CSPs) such as Login.gov. You will see XMS pages as you go through the login process, and sign an annual agreement with XMS.

Login.gov is a Credential Service Provider used by government agencies which allows users to have a set of credentials to access multiple government resources across agencies. It uses the latest security standards to enable logging in with 2-factor authentication. That is, a user will need a password and another authentication method to access a government resource like HRSA Electronic Handbooks (EHBs), thus keeping sensitive information safe. 

Login.gov manages the primary authentication credentials and two-factor authentication.
