Creating an account on the Sinch Customer Dashboard

[Shahzad_Ismail]

When you sign up to the Sinch Customer Dashboard a Sinch account and a user account are created for you, which allows you to access the Dashboard, but also enables you to add and invite other users to your account.

Sinch is rolling out a new single sign-on login experience that will allow you to seamlessly login to any existing Sinch services that they may use. The best part is that your existing login credentials (for Sinch Dashboard or Mailgun Control panel) will be migrated across to create your new Sinch ID.

What is Sinch ID?

Your Sinch ID is a single user identity for all Sinch products and services. With Sinch ID, you can use one set of login credentials and two-factor authentication (2FA) to login to multiple dashboards within our communications ecosystem. We are starting with the Sinch Dashboard and the Mailgun Control Panel, where using the Sinch ID you can now use the same credentials to access both platforms. 

Your Sinch ID will be managed in its own application (https://id.sinch.com), where you can:

•        Enroll in 2FA (SMS or App)
•        Obtain recovery codes
•        Change your password.

How does this impact me?

Important: This change will not affect all users and is being rolled out in a phased manner. 

As an existing customer, you do not have to do anything – your existing email/password and 2FA will be automatically migrated to a Sinch ID.

You will however, notice a different sequence of login pages when you try to log in. But don’t worry, we will guide you step-by-step through the new experience below. 

The New Login Experience!

The new login experience is straightforward – we will walk you through the steps below:

1. When you visit the Sinch Dashboard, you've normally seen the existing login page: https://dashboard.sinch.com/login. Please enter your email address as normal:
   
   
   
   Click CONTINUE.
   
2. Your email address will be verified and if your account is entering the new login experience, the Introducing Sinch ID dialog is displayed:
   
   
   Once you have read the information, click Continue.

3. The new Sinch ID Log in dialog is displayed:
   
   
   The email field will be prepopulated with your existing email address.
   
   Enter your existing password. It's the same one you've been using to login to the Sinch Dashboard. In other words, although the login experience is a bit different now, your login password has not changed.
   
   Click Continue.

4. The Verify your identity dialog is displayed:
   
   
   Sinch uses Two Factor Authentication (2FA) for added security. A text message will be sent to your verified phone number screen containing your 2FA token code.
   
   Enter the 6-digit token and click Continue.
   
   

5. Your recovery code is displayed:
   
   
   
   Your recovery code is important as it allows you to verify your account if you lose your 2FA credentials or your 2FA phone. Please copy your recovery code and store it somewhere safe.
   
   Click the check box to confirm you have copied the code and click Continue.

6. You'll now be taken to the Sinch Dashboard. 
   
   

Congratulations, you've successfully completed your first sign-in with Sinch Identity!

From now on every time, you login to the Sinch Dashboard you'll be taken through the Sinch Identity login sequence.
