LoginMN is the State of Minnesota's secure and centralized sign-on service that individuals and businesses use to access State of Minnesota services, programs, and applications. LoginMN allows people to access State of Minnesota services using a single username and password, which eliminates the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords for multiple state agency services.
LoginMN will provide stronger security measures. Minnesota's modern security solution is built to:
Improve fraud detection and uses multi-factor authentication.
Adaptive access that adapts to the users' behaviors and risk factors.
Protect sensitive data from unauthorized access making sure only authenticated and authorized users can access.
Provide individuals and businesses with self-service capabilities, reducing agency work.
The State of Minnesota is moving all online services, such as reserving a campsite or paying taxes, to LoginMN, a more secure and user-friendly system. If the service you're using now requires LoginMN, you'll need to create an account, even if previously had an account for that service. This change helps protect your information and makes it easier to access multiple state services with one login.
Until all current state agency services have been transferred to LoginMN, you will need to use your previous usernames and passwords for those services and use your LoginMN username and password for services that are available.
Yes! You can still access websites and log in to their services. If that agency’s services have moved to LoginMN, and you want to use those services, then you will need to create a LoginMN account.
Yes. You need two accounts – one using your personal email address and a second using your business email address – and you will need to create a unique password for each account.
To create your LoginMN account, follow these steps:
Select the LoginMN button at the top of the page.
Enter the email you would like to use for a LoginMN account and select Continue.
Select Sign up now to create a new LoginMN account.
Select Send verification code. The verification code is only valid for 20 minutes, after which a new verification code will need to be sent.
Do not leave the verification page or the code will not work. If checking your email from a browser, open a new browser or tab and navigate to the inbox of the email address you provided and locate the verification code that was sent from noreply_prod@login.mn.gov.
Enter the verification code on the LoginMN verification code screen and select Verify Code.
Once the code had been verified, select Continue.
If you are prompted that the email ID already exists, you will need to enter the password for your account or reset your password.
Upon successful email verification, you will be prompted to enter profile information.
Create a new password and re-enter it to confirm.
Password must be between 8-64 characters and include three of the following:
Lower case letter
Upper case letter
Number
Symbol
Enter your first and last name in the corresponding fields.
You will be prompted to enter your address information. Complete the fields and select Continue.
You will be prompted to enter your Phone Number for verification, then select Send Code to verify through text or Call Me to verify through a phone call.
Enter the verification code that was sent to you through text or call and select Verify Code.
If you are unsure if you already have a LoginMN account, follow these steps to determine if you have an account:
Select the LoginMN button at the top of the page.
Enter your email address and select Continue.
Enter the password you think you used and select Sign In.
If you receive the message "We can't seem to find your account,” then you will need to create a LoginMN account to continue. Follow the "How do I create a LoginMN account" steps to create an account.
If you receive the message "Your password is incorrect,” then you need to reset your password to continue. Follow the "What do I do if I am unable to log in with my LoginMN account" steps on how to reset your password.
If you registered for a new LoginMN account or need to enter a verification code for password reset, but never received the verification code email, check your junk mail and/or confirm it hasn't been blocked by a spam blocker. A message from noreply_prod@login.mn.gov has been sent with your verification code. The verification code is only valid for 20 minutes, after which a new verification code will need to be requested. Verification codes are only sent to an email address and not sent via text message.
If you do not find the email with the confirmation code, follow the steps on the "How do I create a LoginMN account" or "What if I forgot my password" sections.
Log in and select your initials in the upper right corner of the screen.
Select My Account.
Select the Authentication Factors and choose Change MFA.
You will be prompted to use your current MFA method.
You can then either:
Add another MFA option by using the Add button, or
Change your existing MFA option by choosing the Update button.
If you are using Phone MFA method, choosing the Update button will allow you to change your phone number.
If you want to start using the authenticator app or a security key, then choose the Add button you will be presented with the other MFA methods available to you.
On the LoginMN page under the Already have an account? where you would normally enter your email and password, click on the 'Forgot password' link.
Enter your email address.
Select 'Send verification code.'
Check your email for a message containing a verification code that will be sent from noreply_prod@login.mn.gov. If you don't see it in your inbox, check your spam folder.
Enter the code you received.
Select 'Verify code.' NOTE: Once a code is sent, it is good for five minutes. If you do not enter it within that timeframe, you will need to click on the 'Send new code' link to receive another code for verification.
Enter a new password. NOTE: Your password must meet the password requirements listed on the page. Once a checkmark is next to each requirement, your password has met the requirements.
Re-enter your password to confirm it.
Select 'Continue.' You will be logged in and can click on the My Account Page application link on the Applications page.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) method you configured your account to use.
Provide additional comments that will help us investigate.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an extra layer of security that requires users to provide multiple forms of verifications before gaining access to their accounts, such as a password and a code from an application, like Microsoft Authenticator. Codes can be sent to an authenticator application on your smart phone, texted to you or sent by phone call, or a security key (a physical FIDO token).
MFA ensures you are connecting to state systems securely. We use it to make sure it's really you trying to access your account and private data. Providing multiple forms of proof – that you are who you say you are – helps prevent someone from accessing your account even if they have your username and password.
No, not to create an account. But you likely will need MFA when using an application on LoginMN. When setting up the MFA option in LoginMN, you can select the Escape key to skip the setup. Your account will be created, but no MFA preference will be set. If you later try to access an application that requires MFA, you will be prompted to finish setting up MFA. You can update your profile at any time to set up or change your MFA settings.
Even though everyone must select an MFA option, not all state services or applications that use LoginMN require it for access. If you want to be prompted for MFA every time, you can update your settings:
You may be required to verify your identity when accessing certain applications on LoginMN. This helps ensure that only you are accessing your specific services or data. Having you verify your identity protects against fraud, impersonation, unauthorized access, and potential data breaches. It also builds trust by confirming that the connection between you and the State is legitimate.
The State has two levels of identity verification depending on how sensitive the data is that needs to be accessed.
Applications on LoginMN that require a higher level of identity verification may prompt you to complete steps on your mobile device.
As part of this process, you will receive a text message from our state-approved vendor, ID Dataweb.
You can expect legitimate texts from the vendor to come from short code 94527 or phone numbers 650-881-6696 and 971-407-5990; these are verified and authorized.
Manual (also known as in-person) identity verification is required when LoginMN cannot verify your identity remotely. If you are required to provide manual identity verification, you will see a message on your screen, and an email will be sent to the email address that you have registered with LoginMN. To verify your identity manually, you must visit a designated location in person where they will confirm your identity.
If you are required to complete identity verification in person, visit a deputy registrar’s office that offers manual identity verification services; not all locations provide this service. The deputy registrar offices that do ofer manual identity verficiation are authorized to verify your identity by checking official documents such as a driver’s license, state identification, or other government-issued ID. Find your nearest deputy registrar’s office on the Minnesota Department of Public Safety website. NOTE: When you visit the deputy registrar’s office for identity verification, you must bring:
A printed copy of the email sent from LoginMN with the verification requirements.
The required documents listed in the email that are needed for verification.
During identity verification, the language is determined by the address you enter. If you provide a United States address, the system automatically uses English as the preferred language.
