-From qpp.cms.gov, click "sign in"
in the upper right-hand corner of the site.
Then click the "register" tab.
And scroll down the page
to click the link to register for an account.
The first step to creating an account
is to provide your profile information.
Please complete all of the fields that are required
as indicated by the red asterisk.
This includes your first and last name, date of birth,
your e-mail address, which you will be asked to confirm,
as well as your home address.
Important that you provide your home address,
as this is needed to generate
the remote identity proofing process through Experian.
Once you've entered the city, state, and zip code,
you will then be asked
to provide your Social Security number.
Again, this is required
for the remote identity proofing process.
You've entered your Social Security number,
you can agree to the terms and conditions.
If you do not provide a Social Security number,
you also have the option
to initiate a manual proofing process.
This process will require you to submit documentation
to the Quality Payment Program,
such as government photo I.D. and financial institution bills.
Select "next."
The second step is to create a user I.D. and password.
The user I.D. that you create
must be a minimum of five characters
and a maximum of 100 characters,
including both alphanumeric characters and symbols.
Your password must be a minimum of 12 characters
and include the following --
a lowercase letter, an uppercase letter,
a number from 0 to 9, and a symbol.
Please note that your password cannot contain your user I.D.,
your first or last name,
or the following special characters --
plus sign, parenthesis, the greater than symbol,
or less than symbol.
Finally, you will select a challenge question
and provide an answer.
The challenge question and answer will be used
if you need to reset your password.
Select "next."
If the user I.D. already exists,
you will be prompted to re-enter a new --
select a new user I.D.
The next step is to respond
to the remote identity proofing questions generated by Experian
based on the information
that you provided in your profile information.
Once you have answered the questions...
...you will select, "I'm not a robot," and click "next."
The final step is to set up a device
for two-factor authentication.
Click "login to complete setup."
Enter your newly created user I.D. and password
and agree to the conditions.
Then select "login."
Choose your device from the "device type" drop-down.
SMS will send the text number, um, to your phone
so that you can enter it to log in to the system.
Click "send code."
And enter the security number that is sent to your cellphone.
The device that you set up for two-factor authentication
will be used both for signing in to HARP,
as well as to sign in
to the Quality Payment Program websites.
"Submit."
And now click "complete setup."
At this point, you can sign in to the Quality Payment Program
so that you can connect to an organization,
the second step in the two-step process
that will allow you to submit, view,
and manage data for your organization.
