This guide explains how to enable two-step verification, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or multi-factor authentication, to secure your connection to your Manager Infomaniak.
Preamble
- This two-step verification protects your account and personal data with your chosen password and a second method of identity verification, such as a code obtained on your mobile device.
- If a malicious person were to crack or steal your password, they would still need a validation code that only the legitimate user can obtain on their mobile device.
- Refer to this other guide if you are an administrator of an Organization and wish to enforce 2FA on all users who have not yet activated it.
Enable two-step verification
To increase the security level of your Infomaniak account:
- Click here to access the management of two-step verification on the Infomaniak Manager.
- Display and choose the authentication method from:
- The app kAuth for iOS / Android devices to simply tap a push notification YES / NO to authorize or deny the connection
- Any OTP application to obtain a unique connection code at a given time
- YubiKey (from Yubico)
- SMS reception (only for countries CH / FR / BE / DE) to obtain a unique connection code at a given time

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the procedure.
Keep the backup codes safe.
Be mindful of existing synchronizations
Once strong authentication is activated, to access certain tools (such as synchronization tools) it is necessary to create application passwords.
There is no need to call Infomaniak as they do not have any of your codes & passwords in their possession. For any help request regarding 2FA, refer to this other guide.

- If your domain is important for your activities, Renewal Warranty ensures that you will never lose it: Infomaniak will do everything in its power to ensure that you keep it even if you do not renew it on time.
Renew a domain name before expiration

Restore a domain name after expiration

This guide explains how to regain access to Infomaniak tools (manager.infomaniak.com and mail.infomaniak.com) in case of forgotten password or login identifier.
Preamble
- To log in within an Organization that manages one or more Infomaniak products, go to https://manager.infomaniak.com/ and enter the following information:
- A login email address (identifier).
- The password chosen during your registration.
- A additional code if 2FA (two-factor authentication) is active.
- If you can log in to the platform but need a password for one of your email addresses, refer to this other guide.
You have forgotten...
... the password for the user account
If you have forgotten this password, follow the reset procedure:
- Click here to reset your password.
- Enter the email address associated with your Infomaniak account
- Choose the desired recovery option or follow the identity verification procedure by clicking on “You have no access to any option”.
... the login email address for the user account
When you signed up, you had to provide a phone number; it is possible to recover the login email address using your phone number:
- Click here to retrieve your login email address.
- Enter your mobile number.
- Enter (if necessary) your recovery email address.
Two scenarios are then possible:
- The system manages to identify your account: then choose how to receive your login identifier.
- Otherwise: follow the on-screen assistant to manually verify your identity or via kCheck:
And if the email address no longer exists…
If you have an Infomaniak account where the login ID is in the form of toto123@yahoo.com, there is no issue if the email address toto123@yahoo.com is deleted or no longer valid. You just need to log in one last time to the Infomaniak Manager with this ID toto123@yahoo.com and familiarize yourself with this other guide to change your login email address.
However, if the email address used as the identifier is hosted by Infomaniak (e.g., anna789@assoziation.ch) and an administrator deletes the email address in question or cancels the Mail Service “assoziation.ch”, the situation is different: you automatically receive an email at the secondary address and an SMS on the mobile phone number specified in your user account:
The connection using your old "email address / password" combination will no longer work. You must follow the SMS instructions:
- Click here to access the login page.
- Enter the username specified in the SMS (usually the initials of your account and a series of numbers).
- Enter the usual password (it hasn't changed).
- Enter the requested new information.
- You will be logged back into your account.
The following animation shows this procedure called Infomaniak-Recovery" (or “connection address being changed” for kSuite users):
- The connection is impossible with the old credentials…
- The mandatory connection using the information from the SMS…
- And the update of the information for reconnection:
This guide explains how to require users of your Organization to activate two-factor authentication (2FA), then verify that it remains activated afterwards.
Introduction
- Each Infomaniak user has the ability to activate two-step verification for access to their account, which significantly increases the security of all the Organization's services...
- A legal representative can require this activation, otherwise access to the Manager and Web apps will no longer be possible for the user.
- Access to desktop apps (desktop application on macOS / Windows / Linux) and mobile apps (application for smartphone or iOS / Android tablet) will always be possible without 2FA.
- It is recommended to inform users of your Organization in advance, to allow them to continue using the services.
- If an external user does not wish to perform the operation requested by an Organization administrator, they can choose to leave the Organization instead of activating it.

You can easily identify people who have not yet activated this security feature on their account:
- Click here to access your Organization's user management.
