  description: 'Login.gov is the U.S. federal government''s secure single sign-on service for public-facing

    government applications, operated by the General Services Administration''s Technology

    Transformation Services. This OpenAPI describes the OpenID Connect (OIDC) integration

    surface used by relying parties (service providers) to authenticate users at IAL1 (auth

    only) and IAL2 (identity-verified) assurance levels.


    Login.gov conforms to the iGov OpenID Connect Profile. Implicit flow is not supported.

    Client authentication uses private_key_jwt (preferred for web apps) or PKCE

    (preferred for native mobile apps).
