ATTENTION: Direct Access Multi-factor authentication (MFA) will begin on 17 March 2025.

To log into Direct Access, non-Common Access Card (CAC) holders or CAC holders without a CGOne Network Account (retirees, annuitants, etc.) will perform a password reset prior to attempting to log in. Guidance with pre-generated passwords is being sent to users outside of the CGOne Network via email addresses on file within Direct Access. The DA landing page will be updated with guidance for members who do not receive an email. The use of MFA one-time passcodes will be implemented for Non-CAC holders, including CAC Holders without a CGOne Network Account, at a later date.

Effective 17 March 2025: If you are unable to log into Direct Access or need to have your password reset, please contact CGFIXIT at (855) 243-4948 for assistance.
