This guide explains how to create a request for proposal as an Infomaniak Client needing support, how to delete the request if you have found a solution, and how an Infomaniak Partner can respond to this request for proposal.
Create a Request for Proposal
Here is the process that occurs when you wish to submit a call for tender:
- Click here to access the tender submission page.
- This is a free service that allows you to address your needs to all Infomaniak Partners who wish to receive this type of request.
- Once your request for proposal is sent, each relevant Partner receives a message with an excerpt of the request for proposal.
- He is offered the possibility to consult your complete call for tender on a dedicated interface within his Partner account on the Infomaniak Manager.
- If it is still valid (see below), the Partner will display your call for tender and discover your contact details.
- He can then make you a proposal tailored to your need and you decide on the next steps for the file:
- Collaborate with the Partner (become their Client within Infomaniak for example) and in this case you can delete the call for tender (read below).
- Wait to receive other proposals over the coming days.
Delete the current call for tender
When you submit a request for proposal, you automatically receive an email at your contact address:
- This email contains a link to cancel your request for proposal.
- Warning, the effect is immediate.
- It will no longer be visible on the interface available to Infomaniak Partners.
This guide explains how to regain access to Infomaniak services (manager.infomaniak.com and mail.infomaniak.com among others) in case of issues with the mobile app kAuth (application for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet) if you chose this security method when activating 2FA (two-factor authentication).
Before changing your mobile device
If you plan to change your iOS/Android device on which the app kAuth is installed, before doing so:
- Log in one last time with 2FA on the Infomaniak Manager.
- Temporarily remove security (or change the verification method to receive a code by SMS, for example).
- Then, on the new device, install and open the mobile app kAuth to re-authenticate with 2FA via kAuth!
After changing your mobile device
If it's too late and you didn't follow the method above, check in the mobile app kAuth to see if your account is still present; it may be that you are no longer receiving the notification requesting connection authorization YES / NO and in this case:
- Open the mobile app kAuth (app for iOS/Android smartphone or tablet) on your device.
- Tap on the relevant account.
- Note down the temporary code that appears.
- Enter this code on the login page for the Manager.
- Once logged in, disable two-factor authentication.
- Then reconfigure the double authentication by choosing kAuth and adding your account to the mobile device which will reactivate the notifications.
If it's too late, and no account is displayed in the mobile app kAuth, there's no point in calling Infomaniak or adding your account in the app (without having followed the first explanation at the top of this guide), the registration will loop since a code will be requested...
And in this case, no choice, you will have to provide a certain number of security elements manually or via the app Infomaniak Check (kCheck) to regain access to your account:
- Click here to access the Infomaniak Manager login page.
- Enter the username and the correct password.
- When prompted for additional authentication, click on the alternative methods:
- Choose to enter one of your backup codes if you had downloaded the sheet when activating 2FA:
- Otherwise, select the last option to request help to access the form allowing you to submit your ID documents and recognition selfie:
- Follow the procedure to the end and wait:
This guide concerns the management of application passwords from the Infomaniak Manager.

This guide explains the specifics related to payments for Infomaniak services and the rights that follow.
Preamble
- When purchasing domain names or other web services, it is crucial to understand the rights and responsibilities that arise from the payments made.
- Confusion can arise between the person who pays for a service and the person who holds the rights to the service.
Paying for a service does not confer ownership
It is important to understand that taking on the payment of bills related to a service or product does not automatically confer property rights over it.
For example, funding a phone subscription for someone else does not grant you ownership of that subscription; paying for a car purchase does not automatically give you permission to drive it.
Similarly, paying for a domain name does not necessarily mean you become the owner, especially if the associated details are not in your name, which can happen notably if there has been a product transfer between Organizations.
A domain name can be managed on the Manager (Infomaniak administration interface) by a user within an Organization XYZ and belong to a completely different user not even in Organization XYZ, while being paid for by a third party, a Partner registered with Infomaniak.
Infomaniak, like other web service providers, clearly states in its Terms of Service that payment for a service by a third party does not imply transfer of ownership. In case of dispute, the client (or the person whose name is associated with the service) remains solely responsible for resolving the dispute.
Check all current details
To avoid any confusion, make sure that the details associated with any web service or domain name that you pay for are in your name if you wish to hold the rights to it.
Check the details:
- of your Infomaniak profile
- of the Organization you belong to
- of billing
- related to a possible domain name
In case of a dispute, first contact the service provider to clarify rights and responsibilities. If necessary, consult a legal advisor to obtain appropriate advice.
Understanding the differences between paying for a web service and owning it is essential to avoid conflicts and misunderstandings.
This guide concerns the authentication tokens or tokens, which are used to verify the identity of the application and to grant it specific permissions to interact securely with the features and data of the API.
Preamble
- Authentication tokens or tokens serve to verify the application's identity and grant it specific permissions to securely interact with the features and data of the Infomaniak API.
- There is no limit to the number of tokens you can create.
- The duration of an access token is "unlimited" by default, but it is possible to set a custom duration at its creation.
- Warning, if no call is made with the token for a year, it is automatically deactivated; it will then be necessary to generate a new one.
Manage Infomaniak API tokens
When creating an API token, you will be able to select the application and the scope accessible by the token (to match your current needs and project).
For this:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Manager Infomaniak (need help?).
- Click the blue button Create a token.
- Select the appropriate product from the dropdown menu according to your current need and project.
- Choose a validity period.
- Click on the blue button Create a token.
- Enter the password to log in to the Manager as requested.
- Copy the token to a safe place - it will no longer be accessible after that.
