How to restore access to your account

If you lose both your MFA app and backup codes, the only way to regain access to your account is through a manual identity verification. To do so, contact our support team with the following information:

  • Email address,
  • Postal address,
  • Two different documents proving your identity (passport or local ID card, for individual accounts + certificate of incorporation, for companies),
  • Your current phone number,
  • A copy of your last Dedibox bill or, if you do not have it, details about the charged amount,
  • A card statement showing the Scaleway bill debit.

Once you have collected this information, send it to document@scaleway.com.
