What is Ackaia ID?

Ackaia ID is the identity and account layer used to authenticate with participating Ackaia services.

Instead of requiring each Ackaia product to build a separate identity system, Ackaia ID provides a common foundation for account access, authentication, sessions, security decisions, and product entitlements across the ecosystem.

What Ackaia ID does

Ackaia ID can provide the identity layer needed to:

One identity, separate products

Ackaia products remain separate services with their own interfaces, responsibilities, security models, and product-specific data.

Ackaia ID provides the common identity boundary. It does not merge every Ackaia product into one application or make every product responsible for the same information.

For example:

Is Ackaia ID free?

The current Ackaia ID signup experience describes Ackaia ID as a free identity for the Ackaia ecosystem.

Some products or features connected to an Ackaia ID may still require a paid subscription, plan entitlement, invitation, regional availability, or another eligibility condition.

Does having an Ackaia ID give me access to every product?

No.

An Ackaia ID identifies and authenticates you, but product access can still depend on:

What information does Ackaia ID use?

The current signup experience is designed around a minimal identity profile and begins with information such as an email address and account alias.

Ackaia may also process account, session, security, recovery, entitlement, and other operational information needed to provide and protect the identity service.

The exact information required can depend on the service, region, account type, billing relationship, security context, or legal requirements.

Is Ackaia ID the same as zero-knowledge encryption?

No.

Ackaia ID is an identity and access system. Zero-knowledge encryption is a separate product-specific security model used where expressly documented, such as supported CipherDrive storage workflows.

Ackaia ID can authenticate access to CipherDrive without becoming the plaintext decryption-key holder for encrypted files.

Think of Ackaia ID as the account boundary around Ackaia products—not as the product itself.
