High-priority: No
Collab Cycle Reviewer: @erinrwhite (IA)

Description

The current sign-in modal mentions DS Logon which is sunsetting 9/30/2025. How is this login method accounted for with these sign-in alerts? Should it be? Either way, consider noting in the documentation that this login option does exist, and will be going away.

Recommended action

Clarify what messages DS Logon users might see, or the path that they might take to move to ID.me or Login.gov accounts. At very least, mention in the documentation this logon option still exists and is being phased out.

Good question. DS Logon is available as a sign-in option through the sunsetting date you mentioned in the ticket above. However, ID-verification alerts are not relevant for this credential: anyone who signs in with DS Logon is already ID-verified.

We can update the documentation to clarify the phased plan for DS Logon alerts. This does not feel urgent for the priority release of this component, but flagging for @laurwill when time allows.
