Accounts and Login
Login.gov is required to access the MRSI Wizard application. Login.gov is a secure authentication platform used by multiple U.S. government websites.
How do I create an account for the MRSI Wizard?
In order to use the capabilities within the MRSI Wizard, you will first need to create an account. Creating a MRSI Wizard account is a three-step process for non-government users and two steps for federal government employees.
Step 1: Create an account through Login.gov (external site), if you do not already have one. (If you already have a Login.gov account, you can skip the steps given in the bulleted list below to create one and go directly to Step 2.)
On the MRSI Wizard login page, you will see text prompting you to create a new Login.gov account. To do so:
- Click the Login.gov link.
- Enter your primary work (*preferably government*) e-mail address into the prompt box.
- Click the check box to accept the Login.gov rules of use.
- Click the 'Submit' button.
Step 2: Once you have verified your email address, you are ready to log in to MRSI Wizard. Proceed to the MRSI Wizard Login page and select the red button that reads, "I already have an official account - Let’s Get Started!" From there you will be prompted to use your Login.gov account to access the MRSI Wizard. If you are a government user of the MILCON Design-Build on the MRSI Wizard capability you are done; if you are a government user of the MCA Code 2 on the MRSI Wizard capability, you will need to send an email requesting project assignment to the Code 2 Review Team (be sure to include the Project Number, Project Location, and Project Title for the project to which you wish to be assigned in your request); if you are a contractor (using either capability), go to Step 3 to continue.
- *NOTE* While creating a Login.gov account, you may be presented with the message "This email address is already associated with an account" when trying to enter your email address. This message indicates that you already have a Login.gov account for that email address. If you have forgotten your Login.gov credentials for this account, please proceed to Login.gov and select "Forgot Password" from the *Login.gov* login page to recover your account.
Step 3: If you are from an AE firm or other non-government entity with a non-government email address, you need to be approved for access. The process for getting this approval varies slightly depending on what capability you are seeking access to:
- Non-government users of the MILCON Design-Build on the MRSI Wizard capability must send an email requesting Wizard access to the MRSI Support Team at MRSI Support Team. Please include your government point-of-contact and demonstrate a valid requirement for Wizard access in your request.
- Non-government users of the MCA Code 2 on the MRSI Wizard capability must send an email requesting project assignment to the Code 2 Review Team at Code 2 Review Team with contact info for the user firm's USACE POC who will confirm the need for project assignment. Please also include Project Number, Project Location, and Project Title for the project to which you wish to be assigned in your request.
*NOTE* In all cases, please be sure to send your request email(s) from the email address you registered with login.gov.
How do I add an additional authentication method to my Login.gov account?
The first time you log in to a new Login.gov account, you will be prompted to add additional authentication methods. You may select your preferred method of 2-factor authentication from the list seen here:
-
Government Employee ID, such as a PIV or CAC
-
Authentication Applications (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, Ente Auth, etc.) that provide a multi-factor authentication code
-
Text or Voice Message via a cellular device (not recommended, encourages SIM Jacking)
-
Physical Security Key that may be connected directly to your device
-
Backup Codes (recommended only as a last resort)
I get an error when signing into the MRSI Wizard.
Please record as much information as you can about the error (screen shots work well for this) and send that information to us along with a description of what you were doing in the system at the time the error occurred to mrsi_support@usace.army.mil.
