Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

left-img

Starting with version 9.1.0, released September 10,  2026, SEER*Stat requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) when using client-server mode

We support these sign-in services:

  1. Login.gov for most SEER*Stat accounts
  2. NIH Login for NIH staff
  3. IMS Login for IMS employees

You must sign in using one of the supported services listed above. SEER*Stat-specific usernames and passwords are no longer used. Refer to How to Login to SEER*Stat for more information.

How to use a Login.gov account to sign into SEER*Stat

SEER*Stat users with an NIH login or IMS employee account  should use their respective sign in services. All other users will need to have a Login.gov account. 

If you already have a Login.gov account

If you already have a Login.gov account, you should not create a second one. You can use your existing Login.gov account to sign in to SEER*Stat.  However, the email address used to login must match the SEER*Stat email address.  If needed, you can add your SEER*Stat email address to your existing Login.gov account, since Login.gov allows multiple email addresses associated with one Login.gov account.  

If you do not have a Login.gov account

You will need to create a Login.gov account to access SEER*Stat.

To create an account, follow the instructions on the Login.gov “Create an account” help page. We recommend using the email address that is associated with your SEER*Stat account.  Login.gov also allows you to add  multiple email addresses to a single  Login.gov account.

What are the benefits of MFA?

The use of multi-factor authentication, sometimes referred to as two-factor authentication, is an added layer of security.  Using a sign-in service, such as Login.gov, allows you to have one account to access multiple government programs, rather than managing multiple accounts with different usernames and passwords.
