We’ve recently upgraded the login process for ExpertConnect to enhance security and streamline access across John Deere platforms. You’ll now log in using Okta, which connects ExpertConnect to your John Deere credentials—either your XID, a JohnDeere.com account (such as one used for Operations Center), or RACF ID.
