WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

There’s nothing you need to do. You still have: 

 * The same details: there’s no need to set up a new myID. Your login details
   (including email address) and identity strength remain the same. 
 * Continued use: your existing app should have automatically updated – if not,
   you can manually update it from the App Store or Google Play. 
 * Access to services: you can continue to access the services you used with
   your myGovID. When logging into an online service, you may now need to select
   myID as your identity provider.

While we transition, you may see references to both myID and myGovID.


WHY THE CHANGE

The change aims to reduce the ongoing confusion between the app’s previous name
( myGovID) and myGov.

The new name for the Australian Government Digital ID app reflects the
community’s evolving understanding of Digital IDExternal link and demonstrates
how a whole-of-government ID provider can help protect Australians from identity
theft and fraud. 


AVOID SCAMS 

It is important to be aware of fraudulent websites, apps and phishing scams.

While we transition, you may see references to both myID and myGovID.

You do not need to set up a new myID or reconfirm your details. If you've been
prompted to go to a website to do so, this is a scam.

Be cautious as scammers can make fake websites or apps that look just like myID
or myGovID. To help protect yourself:

 * don’t click on suspicious links, open attachments or download any files from
   suspicious emails or SMS. We will never send an unsolicited SMS that contains
   a hyperlink
 * When logging in to an online service with myID, ensure that the URL displayed
   in your browser includes ‘https://www.myID.gov.au’ or
   ‘https://myID.gov.auExternal link’.
 * only download the myID app from the official app stores (Google Play or the
   App Store).
