Zoho Account Setup

Zoho Account Setup for ManageEngine AppCreator

Zoho's Identity and Access Management (IAM) capabilities are bundled within the ManageEngine AppCreator. This helps provide you with increased opportunities to manage and control access privileges of your users.

By default a super admin user will be assigned with credentials (admin/admin) while your ManageEngine AppCreator build is initiated. These credentials should be modified after your first login. The super admin handles user management, which includes adding users, creating user groups, creating permissions for the users with access levels, and more.

To ensure a secure authentication process, Zoho allows you to configure the following for your Zoho account:

  • Sign-in Modes: Configure sign-in using SSO to Zoho Accounts. Learn more
  • Manage your account: Manage your profile, enhance security, define your preferences, and configure privacy settings.
    • Profile: Make changes to your profile details, add a new email address, and change your primary email address. 
      Note: Mobile number-based additions or changes cannot be performed here.
    • Security: In addition to securing your Zoho account via passwords and multi-factor authentication, there are a slew of measures you can follow to ramp up your account security. To change your account password, refer to this page.
    • Settings - Manage your preferred date format and privacy settings under the Preferences section (newsletter subscription is not supported).
      Note: Authorized websites and Linked Accounts are not supported in ManageEngine AppCreator accounts.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication: Enables you to create a more robust authentication process by adding an additional mechanism.
    • Time-based OTP: TOTP Authenticators are mobile applications that use time-based one-time password (TOTP) to verify you during multi-factor authentication.
    • Yubikey: Zoho uses U2F-based YubiKeys for multi-factor authentication. The YubiKey is a physical security key used for authentication purposes. They help secure computers, networks, websites, and online profiles, without requiring software installation or a battery. 
    • Trusted browsers: You can trust a browser you are using to sign in to your Zoho Account. Once you trust a browser, we won't request your second factor verification when you sign in for the next 180 days.
    • Backup verification codes: Backup verification codes are a set of 12 digit codes that you can use if you lose your MFA device or have trouble signing in. Each code can be used only once and you need to generate a new set of codes once you have used them all.
    • Disable Multi-Factor Authentication
