HHS FedHub Integrates ID.me for Secure Identity Verification for Work Access
The Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) FedHub has partnered with ID.me to provide secure identity verification for work-related access. ID.me, certified against federal standards, ensures that individuals logging into HHS applications are who they claim to be, thereby enhancing security and preventing unauthorized access. This integration requires users to set up an ID.me Wallet and link it to their FedHub account. The process involves creating an ID.me Wallet, adding the FedHub work email as the default email, and then verifying identity through self-service, video call, or in-person methods. Users must also set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) and consent to share their verified identity information with FedHub. This system is specifically for work purposes, with separate instructions provided for personal use of HHS applications or access to the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB).
