This guide explains what a support code and a VIP code are (not to be confused with the authorization code used for domain name transfers) on Infomaniak.
Support code and VIP code
The support code allows the Infomaniak Support department to identify you quickly and securely when you contact them and provide this sequence of numbers. It is displayed on the your user profile page.
The VIP code is reserved for customers who have subscribed to Premium Support and allows for identification when you call the technical reference. It is displayed on the management page for this service.
This management page also displays various information allowing you to contact Infomaniak as part of the Support package subscribed to.
The code is present on your technical document and also appears on the contact window when you want to contact Infomaniak via the assistance button .
In the same place, you can grant temporary access to your services (for access only possible for Infomaniak Support collaborators):
This guide is for you if you have received a payment reminder for an Infomaniak invoice even though everything seems to be in order.
Reminder email from Infomaniak?
Check that the reminder received is not a phishing attempt (fake email / message not from Infomaniak / scam).
Standing order
If you have set up a standing order, the reference number will not match the invoice number.
Since each invoice has an individual reference number, check the invoice for the month or payment period in question.
Difference in amount / currency
The amount of your payment does not match the invoice. Please always pay the exact amount of the invoice, and in the currency of the latter.
Money on the prepaid account
The payment you made has been received, but due to an issue that occurred while linking your payment to the outstanding invoice, this initial payment has been deposited into the prepaid account.
Check your prepaid account balance and pay the invoice using this method.
Payment reminder that crosses with the payment
A payment has indeed been made, but if it was by bank transfer, a reminder may have been sent before the invoice was settled.
You can change how payments should be made:
This guide explains what the "MySQL Prefix" option is for in a site's settings and what its implications are for the operation of your web applications (CMS) and PHP scripts.
Preamble
- When the "MySQL Prefix" option is enabled for a site, it is no longer necessary to add the prefix "
wxyz_
" in front of the name and users of your MySQL databases. - A PHP script can thus connect to MySQL with the user "monuser" and a database "mabase" and access will automatically be granted with the user "wxyz_monuser" and the database "wxyz_mabase".
- ⚠ If you are migrating from an older Infomaniak offer:
- After migrating a site from the old console, the "MySQL Prefix" option is enabled by default to automatically maintain the connection of your web applications (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.) and PHP scripts with your MySQL databases.
- To ensure the proper functioning of your sites in case of migration of your hosting to another server, it is strongly recommended to disable this function and make the necessary adjustments.
Manage the MySQL Prefix option
Going further with environment variables
It is possible to configure environment variables directly from the Manager for your entire website:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the product concerned:
- Click on Manage under Advanced Settings:
- Click on the PHP / Apache tab.
- Turn the toggle switch MySQL Prefix on or off.
- Click the Save button:
- Make the necessary adjustments in the configuration files of your Web applications and PHP scripts…
Implications and adjustments to make
After disabling the MySQL Prefix option for a site, some PHP scripts or CMS may no longer function. To restore the connection to your databases, you must update the following information in the configuration file(s) of the affected scripts:
- The name of the MySQL database: you will need to add the prefix of your server to it
- before:
mabase
- after:
wxyz_mabase
- before:
- The MySQL database user: you will need to add your server prefix to it
- before:
monuser
- after:
wxyz_monuser
- before:

This guide explains how to switch from one Organization to another from your Manager Infomaniak or how to remove yourself from an Organization you belong to.
Preamble
- Since you opened your account with Infomaniak, you are part of at least one Organization.
- If you were alone and it was not an invitation, an Organization was created in your name and you automatically become the legal responsible.
- Otherwise, you belong to the Organization that invited you (to join its kSuite, to manage a product, etc.).
- Only a owner/legal representative can make changes.
- It is quite possible to access several Organizations with the same login credentials, and to switch quickly from one to the other.

Display another Organization
To switch to one of the other Organizations you belong to:
- Click here to access your product management (Manager Infomaniak).
- Click on the dropdown arrow at the top left of the Manager interface.
- Click on the Organization you want to access.

This guide explains how to disable two-factor authentication, also known as two-step verification (two-factor authentication in English, or 2FA) for logging into Manager Infomaniak (manager.infomaniak.com) or Mail Infomaniak (mail.infomaniak.com).
For security reasons, Infomaniak support will never disable a connection validation method enabled on an account upon simple request. You must strictly follow the procedures below.

If two-step verification is enabled and you wish to disable it:
- Click here to access 2FA management on the Manager Infomaniak.
- Click on the Remove button to disable security:

In case of trouble
Obviously, the procedure above requires logging in one last time with two-factor authentication to then be able to disable it.
If you do not have access to the kAuth application or the device that receives the validation SMS, there is no point in calling Infomaniak; in this case, you will have no choice but to provide a number of security elements manually or via the app Infomaniak Check (kCheck) to regain access to your account:
- Click here to access the login page for Manager Infomaniak.
- Enter the username and the usual and correct password.
- When prompted for additional authentication, click on the alternative methods:
