Logging in
The Xcentrix cloud app lives at cloud.xcentrix.net/app. You’ll need an invitation from your tenant admin before you can sign in for the first time.
First-time sign-in (invitation)
When your admin invites you, you get an email with an Accept invitation link. Clicking it takes you to a single form that collects everything you need to activate your account:
- Email (must match the address the invitation was sent to — case doesn’t matter)
- Password — minimum 10 characters. Use a password manager.
- PIN — exactly 6 digits, numeric only. This is used to acknowledge alarms from SMS, the XVision kiosk, and the XCore ack button. The PIN must not match your password.
- Confirm PIN
Submitting the form:
- Creates your account and signs you in.
- Walks you through TOTP enrollment: scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator, …) and type the current 6-digit code to confirm.
- Shows you a set of backup codes — print or save them somewhere safe. Each one works exactly once and can replace your authenticator if you lose your phone.
- Drops you on the dashboard at
/app.
Regular sign-in
- Go to cloud.xcentrix.net/app (anything under
/appredirects to login if you’re not signed in). - Enter your email + password and click Sign in.
- On the next page, enter the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app.
- Optionally tick Remember this device for 1 year — on that browser you’ll skip step 3 for the next year.
- The dashboard loads at
/app.
Signed-in browsers stay signed in for up to a year. You stay signed in on a given browser until you sign out, your admin resets your session, or you use a backup code (which invalidates every remembered device on your account).
Forgot password
- Click Forgot password? on the login screen.
- Enter your email and submit. You’ll always see the same “check your email” message regardless of whether the address exists — this is deliberate (it stops attackers from probing for valid emails).
- Open the reset email and click the link.
- Set a new password (minimum 10 characters) and submit. You’re returned to the login screen.
Your PIN, TOTP, and backup codes are not reset by a password change.
Lost your 2FA device
- You have backup codes: On the 2FA challenge page, click “Lost your device?” and enter one of your 8-character backup codes instead of a 6-digit TOTP code. Using a backup code invalidates every remembered device on your account; sign back in on each one.
- You don’t have backup codes: Email your tenant admin — they can trigger a 2FA reset for you. If you are the tenant owner, email support@xcentrix.net.
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | What’s going on |
|---|---|
| “Invalid credentials” | Wrong email or password. Repeated failures briefly block further attempts from your network — wait a minute and try again. |
| “Too many requests” | You’ve tried too many times in a short window. Wait a minute. |
| Didn’t get the invitation email | Check spam. If not there, ask your admin to resend. |
| TOTP code says “invalid” but you typed it correctly | Your phone’s clock is out of sync. Turn on automatic time in your phone’s settings. |
| Can’t scan the QR code | Click the “manual key” option under the QR and type the key into your authenticator app by hand. |
