    Telephone Number: Enter your Cincinnati Bell or Cincinnati Bell Wireless telephone number, including area code in the fields provided.

    Email Address: Enter your email address in the field provided. This should be an address that you check regularly (e.g., home, work). It is very important that you verify the email address provided. Your email address is required to access your account information and serves as a source of communication when you have questions. This Email address will also be your login id. Cincinnati Bell keeps your email address confidential and is backed by our Privacy Policy which you can review using the link at the bottom of every My Account page.

    Password: Enter your desired password in the field provided. Your password must be a minimum of 7 alphanumeric characters and should be something that is easy for you to remember but not easy for someone to guess.

You will need to answer this question if you lose or forget your password. After you answer the question correctly, your password will be emailed to the email address you provided earlier.

What is an Associated Account?

Associated accounts are those accounts you can access from your My Account Login. All users start with one association, which is the account you registered when your user id was first created. Then if you wish to access more than one account from the same login you can associate them.

To manage associated accounts, simply go to My Profile, then Manage Associated Accounts. From this screen, you may add, remove, set default or nickname accounts so that they are all easily accessible from your single My Account login. When you associate more than one account in the list shown, you can easily switch to view each account from the 'Select Account' drop down on main navigation bar.

** Please note that associating accounts here does NOT combine the billing for those accounts.
