You will see two login options. See below for help on which option to choose.
Answer
There are two ways to login to your OpenAthens account to access online resources.
- Method 1 is for accounts created after November 2022. These accounts usually have your firstname.surname as your username. Choose to "Sign in at Health Service Executive(Ireland)" as shown in 1 below.
- Method 2 is for older HSE Athens accounts created before December 2022. Your username will begin with hse... e.g. hsejbloggs001. Choose option 2 as shown in the screenshot below. This method is also for non-HSE staff at section 38 organisations.
