User accounts linking enables consolidating multiple username-based accounts under one with an email-based login. Linked accounts are available as identities that you can switch between without having to re-login.
Note: Before you proceed with linking user accounts, you must enable email-based login. For details, see Enable Email-based Login.
Important: Linking classic user accounts is irreversible. Once you link a classic user account, you will no longer be able to log in using the username.
To link a classic user account:
-
Log in to any Equinix portal using your email-based account.
-
From the user menu in the top-right corner, select User Account.
-
From the left menu, select Classic User Accounts.
-
Click Link Classic User Account.
-
Read account linking information and click Continue to proceed.
-
Enter your classic user account credentials and click Sign In.
-
Click Proceed to confirm linking the classic account to your email-based account.
-
Click Sign in to User Account to sign in.
You can also link a classic user account by logging into the portal using its login credentials.
-
Log in to any Equinix portal using a user name that hasn't been migrated to email-based login.
-
Provide an email address that you use for email-based login.
-
Enter your password and click Continue.
-
Click Proceed to confirm linking the user name to the existing account associated with the given email address.
-
Click Continue to Portal to navigate to the portal.
