Step 2. Enter an Email Address

For government registration, an email address must end with a .gov or .mil domain.

Symphony will send a verification email. If it isn't received within a few minutes after registering, the user should check their spam folder (see Figure 2).
To re-enter the email address, click the Cancel button.

Step 3. Enter the Validation Code

Copy the validation code from the Symphony email and enter it in the browser to continue.

If the Symphony email doesn't arrive, try resending it.
Avoid extra spaces in the validation code, it will cause an error.

Step 4. Acknowledge the Checklist

Answer the questions upon receiving the Symphony checklist. (see Figure 3). (See Multi-Factor Authentication for information about the checklist).

The validation code confirms the email address is correct

Step 6. Enter the Contracting Office Code.

Enter the FPDS-code for the Contracting Office; (see Figure 5)
Then, select LOOKUP ORGANIZATION.

Step 7. Confirm the Organization

Using the YES button confirms that the information displayed is correct and an organization is authorized to access Symphony. Clicking NO returns the registration to the previous step.

Step 8. Configure the Account and Password

Usernames are email addresses. A first and last name identifying the account owner and a password meeting requirements must be added to the account. Clicking Cancel at this point stops registration.

Step 9. Configure the Multi-Factor Authentication Method

Symphony requires Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for registration and every sign-in.

Users can choose any time-based authenticator app or SMS delivery of the six-digit code for Multi-Factor Authentication. The MFA code validates this step (see Figure 3).
Users with international phone numbers must use an authenticator app (See Smartphone Apps for MFA or MFA Browser Extensions).
Contact us for an MFA reset if this step is not completed.

Step 10. Registration is Complete

A confirmation page displays after a successful registration. Returning to Symphony's main page enables signing in.
