FAA MyAccess Login: How to Sign In and Fix Login Problems

FAA MyAccess Login: Sign In, Reset Password and Fix Login Issues

Looking for the FAA MyAccess login page? This guide explains how to sign in through Login.gov, create or connect an account, recover access and solve common FAA MyAccess login problems.

The correct sign-in method may vary depending on your relationship with the FAA and the application you need to access.

What Is FAA MyAccess?

FAA MyAccess is a secure access service used to sign in to certain Federal Aviation Administration and U.S. Department of Transportation applications.

External customers and international users generally sign in through Login.gov. FAA employees and contractors using FAA systems in their official capacity may use MyAccess Workforce instead.

MyAccess does not provide one universal dashboard for every aviation service. The features available after you sign in depend on the FAA application connected to your account. One application may support registration, while another may be used for reporting, certification or another aviation-related process.

How to Sign In to FAA MyAccess

Follow these steps to access an FAA application through MyAccess:

1. Open the official FAA website for the service you need.
2. Select the application’s login, sign-in or MyAccess option.
3. Choose the user type that matches your relationship with the FAA.
4. Select “Sign in with Login.gov” if you are an external or international customer.
5. Enter your Login.gov email address and password.
6. Complete the required multifactor authentication step.
7. Continue to the FAA application after your identity has been confirmed.

Always begin with the official FAA website instead of an unfamiliar login page. Before entering your information, check that the website address uses a legitimate .gov domain.

How to Create a Login.gov Account

If you do not have a Login.gov account, select the Login.gov sign-in option and choose the option to create an account.

You will generally need:

• An email address that you can access.
• A strong, unique password.
• A supported multifactor authentication method.
• Additional information if the FAA application requires identity verification.

Use an email address that you control and check regularly. Do not share your Login.gov account with another person. Each user should maintain an individual account.

After creating your account, check your inbox for a confirmation message. You may need to verify your email address before continuing to the FAA application.

Some FAA applications may also require identity verification. If verification is requested, follow the instructions displayed during the application process.

How to Connect an Existing MyAccess Account

Some users previously accessed FAA applications with an older MyAccess account. If your account has moved to Login.gov, you may need to connect your existing MyAccess profile to your Login.gov account.

Eligible users may be directed through an FAA account-migration process. During this process, you sign in with your existing MyAccess profile and connect it to your Login.gov account.

Avoid creating several new accounts if you already have an FAA profile. Duplicate accounts may make it more difficult to access previous application records or permissions.

If you are unsure which email address is connected to your account, contact the support team for the specific FAA application.

Common FAA MyAccess Login Problems

Forgotten Password

If you have forgotten your password, use the password-recovery option on the Login.gov sign-in page.

Follow the instructions sent to your registered email address. If the recovery email does not arrive:

• Check your spam or junk folder.
• Confirm that you entered the correct email address.
• Wait a few minutes and request another recovery email.
• Make sure you are using the email address associated with your account.

Do not share your password or account-recovery information with anyone.

Multifactor Authentication Problem

Login.gov may require multifactor authentication after you enter your password. The exact sign-in steps may vary depending on the FAA application and your user type.

If your usual authentication method is unavailable, try another method that you previously added to your account. Depending on your account settings, available options may include:

• An authentication application.
• Backup codes.
• A security key.
• A phone call or text message.
• Another supported authentication method.

Adding more than one authentication method can help you recover access if you lose your phone, change your phone number or cannot use your usual device.

Login Works but the Application Does Not Open

Sometimes the problem is not with Login.gov. You may be able to authenticate successfully but still be unable to open or use an FAA application.

This can happen when:

• Your account has not been approved for the application.
• Your user role or permissions are incorrect.
• Your profile is not connected to the correct FAA record.
• The application is temporarily unavailable.
• The application requires additional registration or identity verification.

In these situations, contact the support team for the specific FAA application. Login.gov manages authentication, but it does not control FAA application permissions, records or user roles.

Browser or Connection Problems

If the FAA MyAccess login page does not load correctly, try the following steps:

• Use an updated version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.
• Open the page in a private or incognito window.
• Clear old browser cookies and cached files.
• Temporarily disable browser extensions.
• Check your internet connection.
• Try another device or browser.
• Look for an FAA maintenance or outage notice.

Avoid repeatedly entering incorrect login information. If the problem continues, use the official account-recovery or support options.

FAA MyAccess Security Tips

Protect your account by following these security practices:

• Use a password that is unique to Login.gov.
• Keep your email address and recovery information current.
• Add more than one multifactor authentication method where available.
• Never share your password, authentication code or backup codes.
• Avoid entering credentials through links in unexpected emails.
• Confirm the website address before signing in.
• Do not save your login information on a public computer.
• Sign out when using a shared or public device.

Be cautious of messages that request your password, authentication code or personal information. If you are unsure whether a message is genuine, open the official FAA website manually instead of using the message link.

How to Contact Support

The correct support contact depends on the type of problem you are experiencing.

Contact Login.gov support for issues involving:

• A forgotten Login.gov password.
• Login.gov email verification.
• Multifactor authentication.
• Login.gov account recovery.

Contact the relevant FAA application support team for:

• Missing application access.
• Incorrect user permissions.
• Problems with FAA records.
• An account that is not connected to the correct application.
• Issues that occur after you successfully sign in.

Login.gov can assist with authentication, but it cannot change FAA application permissions or update FAA application records.

Support contact information may change. Confirm the current contact details on the relevant FAA or application support page before contacting the agency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FAA MyAccess the Same as Login.gov?

No. MyAccess is the FAA and DOT access service, while Login.gov is the authentication service used by many external and international users.

Can I Use My Old MyAccess Password?

If your account has moved to Login.gov, your old MyAccess credentials may no longer work. Use the Login.gov sign-in option or follow the FAA’s account-migration instructions.

Do International Users Sign In Through Login.gov?

International customers generally select “Sign in with Login.gov.” Some users may also need to complete an international identity-verification process.

What If I Can Sign In but Cannot Access the FAA Application?

Contact the support team for that particular FAA application. Login.gov can assist with authentication, but it cannot change FAA application permissions or update FAA application records.
