This guide details the various identifiers that you will need to use with Infomaniak, as well as what happens if one of the passwords is changed.

Preamble

1. Like many other online services, you signed up with Infomaniak using a personal email address.
2. This personal email address serves as your login identifier when you want to access Infomaniak services.
3. This login identifier has its own password (set when you created your Infomaniak user account – your personal email address, see above).

There is no link between…

• … this identifier/password pair described in points 1/2/3 above…
• … and the email addresses that you have created or obtained subsequently with Infomaniak.

A link could exist if the address is identical (for example, you signed up with the email address toto@abc.xyz and you also manage this same email address with Infomaniak) but even in this case, the password will very likely be different — once for the login identifier toto@abc.xyz and once for the email address toto@abc.xyz.

Login ID / email address

Enter the login identifier when…

• Whether it be on mail.infomaniak.com or in the Infomaniak Mail application, it is essential to log in with:
  • the identifier of your Infomaniak user account,
  • and its password.
• ⚠️ This will NOT work if you enter an email address and its password directly (unless a user account exists with exactly the same address and password).

Enter an email address when…

• In an email software or client (like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.), you must enter:
  • the email address you wish to view,
  • and the associated password.
• ⚠️ This will NOT work if you use the password for the Infomaniak interface, as it is very likely different!

Solving a connection issue

There is no need to contact Infomaniak Support (which does not have any of your passwords) if…

1. … you are unable to log in to interfaces such as mail.infomaniak.com or manager.infomaniak.com due to an incorrect password…
   1. The only solution is the password reset.
2. … you are unable to connect your email address to your email software or client (such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, etc.) due to an incorrect password:
   1. Test the email address / password pair to check if an error is detected.
   2. Reset the email password if necessary.

To remember

In summary, you have:

• 1 identifier (in the form of an email address) and 1 password to access:
  • … to Mail https://mail.infomaniak.com
  • … to the Manager https://manager.infomaniak.com
• 1 password for each email address hosted at Infomaniak.

These two pieces of information can be the same or different, depending on your choice. And if you change one, it will not necessarily change the other, unless both have been unified (this will be indicated to you – see below).

When are passwords unified?

Let's say that within the Mail Service that you own in your Infomaniak account, you create an email address named julie@entreprise-familiale.xyz (password 123-Abc).

If then an Infomaniak account…

• ... is created with the same address (julie@entreprise-familiale.xyz – password does not matter)…
• … is the only account to access the email address julie@entreprise-familiale.xyz via mail.infomaniak.com…
• … has the necessary permissions to change the password for this email address…

… then the password unification will be offered when you attempt to change the password of this email address from the relevant Infomaniak account.

And what about the other credentials?

Purchasing other Infomaniak products requires obtaining other credentials, such as those needed for FTP, MySQL, SSH, WebDAV, etc., but these credentials are entirely independent of the two types described above.
