ILogin

ILogin is an identity verification tool that is required to apply online for unemployment insurance and access your IDES online account.  ILogin uses the latest cybersecurity tools to protect user data including identity proofing, strong authentication, fraud analytics and threat monitoring.  ILogin is used across the state by various agencies such as Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) to secure your data.  Upon logging in, you may see these accounts appear on your dashboard.

ILogin adds a layer of security called Multifactor Authentication (MFA) that is required to access your account.  When you create or log into your IDES online account you will be required to verify your identity through an additional factor such as a text message, phone call, Google Authenticator, or OKTA verify.  This extra identity confirmation measure helps secure your account and protect your information.
