This guide details the two main types of identifiers. They are distinct, even if the address format can be identical.

Infomaniak Account vs Email Address

Here is a summary of these 2 types of identifiers:

What to do in case of a connection problem?

It is not necessary to contact Infomaniak Support (who does not have any of your passwords)…

• Problem with the Infomaniak account? Reset the account password.
• Problem with an email address? Reset the email password.

Explanations

1. Like many other online services, you registered 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 creating 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 you have created or obtained subsequently with Infomaniak.

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

Other identifiers?

Acquiring other Infomaniak products involves obtaining other identifiers, such as those required for FTP, MySQL, SSH, WebDAV connections, etc., but these identifiers are completely independent of the two types described above.
