Manage application passwords
This guide is about managing application passwords from the Infomaniak Manager. Application passwords allow you to establish a connection between certain tools and services, even if two-factor authentication (2FA) is enabled.
Create an Application Password
In order to synchronize, for example, contacts and calendars from your Infomaniak account with a mobile device or email software, follow these steps to generate a new password specific to that application:
- Log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) or Mail Infomaniak (mail.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Firefox.
- Click on the circle with your initials or your avatar at the top right.
- Select Manage my profile
- Click on Manage in the Application Password(s) section
- Click on Generate an application password
- Enter a name for the application password in the dialog box, then click Generate an application password.
- Copy and store the generated application password in a safe but accessible place; it will not be accessible once the window is closed.
Revoke Application Passwords
In the same place, you can delete one or more application passwords when they are no longer needed:
- From the Application Password(s) section, click Manage.
- Click on the action button â‹® to the right of each password.
- Or click Revoke All at the top of the table
