Online services: New authentication solution effective September 24, 2025
Effective September 24, 2025, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) will adopt a new authentication solution for the following online services:
- LAC Account (formerly My Account), which includes My research, My Contributions to Co-Lab, and Track my archival order
- LAC funding portal
To log in, you will need to use one of the following two options:
- Log in via Interac®, using the credentials of a participating Canadian banking institution
- GCKey, the Government of Canada’s digital ID used for services such as those provided by the Canada Revenue Agency
Your current accounts and files will not be affected; only the method used to authenticate you will change.
What you can do now
- Verify that the email address associated with your account is correct before September 24.
This change will bring our online services in line with the Government of Canada’s cybersecurity standards, while providing a simplified and more secure login experience.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact us.
