NIH: eRA Commons & ASSIST Two-Factor Authorization Login

On Wednesday 4.08.2020, we began to see an option to log into the Commons and ASSIST using a 2-factor authentication process via login.gov.

Right now, this is optional. It will eventually be required, but NIH hasn’t announced the timing, yet. You can continue using your standard login for Commons & ASSIST for the time being. We will let you know when the new process will be required.
