1. Log on to
qpp.cms.gov using your credentials for your registry account. Remember you must be a security official for your registry.
2. There will be a "Final 2018 Performance Feedback Available" box below the blue welcome message. Click "View Feedback"
3. The next screen is the Performance Feedback screen. Make sure you are on the "Registries" tab.
4. Click "View Dashboard" next to the registry you need the token for.
5. That takes you to "2018 Registry Submission Details" - make sure you're on the right year, which is 2018 (yes this is confusing as it's the 2019 Dev Pre token, I've passed along this feedback)
6. Click the "Download API Token" button, which produces a drop down.
7. Click "Download Developer Preview API Token"
Your token will open in a new window.
