How do I change my CINNOX password?

You can reset your password at the CINNOX login page by clicking Forgot Password.
I have forgotten my CINNOX login email and password. How can I recover it?
To recover your CINNOX login credentials, don't hesitate to get in touch with your Staff Administrator.

Can I use the same email address for more than one CINNOX account?
Yes, you can have more than one Account associated with one email address (even if it's for a different plan, company, or Role - such as admin or agent).
You will use the same email and password to login into both accounts. Log in to your registered domain link on a Chrome or Safari browser. On mobile, enter your subdomain and domain name when logging on.
Suppose you signed up for a CINNOX account and set a password. In that case, it will automatically update the password associated with your email address across your accounts.
How can I log in to my Account if I have two accounts under the same email address?
Each business or organisation using CINNOX has a unique registered subdomain (usually your company name). This was defined when your Account was created and consists of the domain name cinnox.com or cinnox.cn.
To sign in to your CINNOX account, type the subdomain and domain name into a browser or CINNOX App, i.e.:
- Subdomain (URL): abc-company.cinnox.com
- Your Subdomain: abc-company
- Domain Name: cinnox.com
Then, log in with your email and password as usual.
Will my login credentials be safe if a third party registers a new account with my email address?
Yes! There is an email verification process for every user. Suppose someone attempts to register a new CINNOX account with your email address. In that case, email verification is sent to your email inbox. Only you or those authorised to access your email account can verify the new CINNOX registration.
Can I set up additional password policies to protect our users' credentials?
Yes, you can. Go to Administration > Security > Service Authentication, then click on Staff Password Policies to set up and enable additional policies, like preventing Staff members from reusing a set number of passwords, setting passwords to expire after a specific number of days, or automatically locking a staff account after several failed login attempts.

Who can access the Data Retention Portal?
The first Staff administrator of your CINNOX service account will have access to the Data Retention Portal by default.

As a staff administrator or agent, can I delete call logs and chat history in the chatroom?
No, call logs and chat history will remain in the chatroom following your subscription report history entitlement. But you can archive your data, such as call logs, chat history, contacts and others, using our Data Retention feature.
