Logging In to Huawei Cloud

Logging In Using a HUAWEI ID

A HUAWEI ID is a unified "identity" for you to access various Huawei portals. You can register just one HUAWEI ID to obtain access to all of Huawei's services. You can register and manage a HUAWEI ID on the HUAWEI ID website. You can also sign up for a HUAWEI ID and use it to enable Huawei Cloud services in Huawei Cloud. When logging in to the Huawei Cloud console using a HUAWEI ID, you can enter a mobile number, email address, login ID, or Huawei Cloud account name.

To log in using a HUAWEI ID, do as follows:

1. On the login page, enter your mobile number, email address, login ID, or Huawei Cloud account name, enter the password, and then click LOG IN.

Scanning QR Code to Log in

The Huawei Cloud App is a mobile client of Huawei Cloud. With the Huawei Cloud app, you can manage your Huawei Cloud resources on your mobile phone. If you have logged in to the Huawei Cloud App using an account or as an IAM user, you can scan the QR code on the login page to log in to Huawei Cloud without entering the account information again.

Huawei Cloud App does not support login using a Huawei Cloud International website account, so you cannot scan the QR code to log in.

To log in by scanning the QR code, do as follows:

1. On the Huawei Cloud login page, click Scan to Log In in the upper right corner.
   Figure 3 Scanning QR code to log in
   

2. Use the Huawei Cloud App to scan the QR code to log in to Huawei Cloud.
