DS Logon Retired: Which Login Works Where Now (myAuth, ID.me, Login.gov)
DS Logon was retired and replaced with myAuth. Pick the site you are trying to reach and see the sign-in options its official page lists today, quoted word for word.
- DS Logon is gone. The official Military OneSource account guide says it was retired and replaced with myAuth (quote below).
- There is no single answer for every site — Military OneSource, milConnect and VA.gov each list their own sign-in options. Use the quick check to see yours.
- Military OneSource also retired its email-and-password login, so an old password will not get you back in.
- Locked out of myAuth itself? Military OneSource does not run myAuth — the DMDC support office does, and its contact is quoted below.
This decodes the published rule only. It is not legal or tax advice; the official office decides your case.
