How-To: Log In

Don’t worry—you didn’t miss a step. No usernames or passwords are required to log into the IVA website.

Instead, you’ll use your email address to log in. After you enter it, we’ll send you an email with a secure link that automatically signs you in. That same email also includes a one-time code you can use instead of the link if you prefer.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1

Click “LOG IN” in the top-right corner of the page.

Enter your email address in the pop-up window and click “Continue.”

If you entered a valid email address, the window will update and prompt you to check your inbox. You'll also see a box where you can enter your one-time code.

Step 2

Open your email. Look for a message with the subject "Sign in to The Independent Vanguard Adviser with code ..." This email will have a "Sign in now" button and your one-time code. Y.

Step 3

You have two ways to log in.

Option 1: Click on the blue “Sign in now” button in the email (or copy-and-paste the URL into your browser.)

Option 2: Enter the one-time code into the box on the IVA site and click "Continue."

If you clicked on the link a new browser window will open. If you entered th e code, the window will update. Either way, you'll get a message in the top-right corner welcoming you to the site.

If you missed the pop-up message, don't worry—you’ll know you're logged in when the top-right corner says "ACCOUNT" instead of "LOG IN." You'll also notice our articles are front and center without the splashy landing pages.
