Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for FPDS-NG will become mandatory for FPDS users on Saturday, December 5, 2020.

In order to improve the security of the FPDS user log in process, FPDS will be integrating with login.gov to enable multi-factor authentication.

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for FPDS-NG will become mandatory for individual FPDS users on Saturday, December 5, 2020. There are no changes for FPDS System account users.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a security enhancement that requires two forms of authentication when individual users log into FPDS-NG and adds critical protection for your sign-on credentials.
• All individual users should create an account with login.gov with the same email address associated with your FPDS-NG account before it becomes mandatory on December 5th to avoid delay when using your FPDS-NG Logon ID.
• By creating a login.gov account with the same email address as the existing user FPDS-NG account, after integration with login.gov, the process will enable the user to log into FPDS-NG to perform normal business activities.
