This guide explains how to disable two-factor authentication, also known as two-factor authentication (2FA) or two-step verification for logging in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) or Mail Infomaniak (ksuite.infomaniak.com/mail).

Preamble

• For security reasons, Infomaniak support will never disable a login validation method activated on an account upon a simple request.
  • You must absolutely follow the procedures below.
• Attention, if you were using the SMS authentication method, once deactivated, you will only be able to re-enable this method if you are domiciled in CH / FR / BE / DE.
  • Outside of these countries, you will need to use kAuth or any OTP application.

1. Click here to access 2FA management on the Infomaniak Manager.

In case of a problem

1. Click here to access the Infomaniak Manager login page.
2. Enter the username and correct password.
3. When prompted for additional authentication, click on alternative methods:
   
4. Choose to enter one of your recovery codes if you had downloaded the sheet when activating 2FA:
   
5. Otherwise, select the last option to request help to access the form allowing you to submit your identity documents and recognition selfie:
   
6. Follow the procedure to the end and wait:
