Adding a PIV card to a Login.gov Account

A Grantor user can add a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card to a Login.gov account to log into GrantSolutions. A Grantor user must log into GrantSolutions through Login.gov using a PIV card.

If the user has an existing Login.gov account, perform the following steps to add a PIV card to the Login.gov account:

1. From a browser such as Google Chrome, navigate to www.login.gov and click the Sign in with Login.gov button in the top right corner.

2. The Login.gov “Sign in” screen appears. Enter the existing Login.gov Email address and Password and click the Sign in button to log into Login.gov.

3. The Login.gov “Your account” screen appears. Click the Add federal employee ID button in the Your authentication methods section of the left menu bar.

4. The Login.gov “Add your PIV or CAC” screen appears. Enter a nickname in the Give it a nickname field, insert your PIV/CAC card into a card reader, and click the Add PIV/CAC card button at the bottom.

5. In the browser window, select the correct PIV certificate and click the OK button in the browser.

6. In the new browser window, enter the PIV PIN in the PIN field and click the OK button.

7. The Login.gov “Your account” screen reappears with the message, “PIV/CAC card linked successfully”.
