Sigfox id is a unique set of information including credentials that can be shared between compatible Sigfox services to give you a friction-less experience between them (should you have access to them of course).
How does Sigfox id work?
If you associate your Sigfox id with multiple compatible Sigfox services, you will be able to sign in all of them with the same unique set of credentials (email+password) registered in your Sigfox id.
Why did you implement Sigfox id?
We are introducing new services and it was time for us to offer you the most seamless experience between most of them. It is also an improvement for user management security.
What is the list of sigfox services that can be associated to a Sigfox id?
As of August 2017:
backend.sigfox.com
connect.sigfox.com
partners.sigfox.com
buy.sigfox.com
build.sigfox.com
You will also be able to identify a service using Sigfox id thanks to the dedicated logo next to the login or signup pages.Reminder: you can only associate a Sigfox id to a service you already have access to. Please refers to each service terms and conditions to know how to get access to it.
How do I get a Sigfox id?
As soon as you have an account on one of the listed compatible Sigfox services, your Sigfox id will be automatically created.
There are different cases depending on your existing accounts:
you have no existing account on any of Sigfox services that can be associated with a Sigfox id : just sign up on the service you want to use, it will automatically create your Sigfox id account.
you have one account among the list of Sigfox services compatible with Sigfox id : your Sigfox id has automatically been created with your existing credentials.
you already have a Sigfox Partner Network and a Sigfox Connect/Backend accounts using the same email : your Sigfox id has automatically been created and it uses your Connect/Backend password.

What happens if I change my password on one of sigfox services using Sigfox id?
