Using Digital ID to access ATO online services
If you sign in to myGov using your Digital ID and access ATO online services, you need to continue using this sign-in option to access ATO online services.
This only affects access to ATO online services through myGov. You can still access other linked services in myGov using your myGov sign-in details, such as your username and password.
Use Passkeys
Passkeys are a more secure alternative to passwords. A passkey lets you use the security features on your phone, computer, tablet or security key to sign in to myGov.
These could include:
- biometrics such as fingerprint recognition or facial recognition
- screen lock, such as a PIN or swipe pattern
- security key.
