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:
- Login.gov for most SEER*Stat accounts
- NIH Login for NIH staff
- 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.
