Official NCBI Announcement
Join the NCBI staff on March 3, 2021 to learn about changes to NCBI account log ins that will affect those of you who sign in directly your NCBI account. After June 1, 2021 you will need to log in using your institution, social media, Google, Microsoft or login.gov account username and password. In this webinar, you will learn how to register for a free login.gov account and how to link this to an existing NCBI account. You’ll also see where to find the most up-to-date information and FAQs on this topic.
