To login, just use the same username/password as your espiv email account. To change your password you simply enter a new password twice (new and verify) and press update. Mind that the username field must contain the full email address, for example ‘heyho@espiv.net’
What options do I have through our.espiv.net?
Currently our.espiv.net offers the following options:
1. Change password
2. Change backup mail
3. Reset password: With this option you can recover your password by following the instructions that will be sent to your backup mail.
4. Disable account in case of emergency: With this option you deactivate your email as well as your access at our.espiv.net. Be careful!

What is the “backup mail” I see in our.espiv.net?
This is the email you filled in the registration form when you requested a new account and where information about your newly created account was sent (username & password). It’s the same email that will be used to send you instruction to recover your password in case you’ve forgotten your old one. Until now, the only way someone could change his/her backup mail was through the bug report form. Now through our.espiv.net everyone who has an espiv account can change their backup email.
We urge you to make sure that your backup email is an active mail account that you have access to.
What is our.espiv.net?
our.espiv.net is a new tool which enables users to manage their email account without help from the espiv.net admins.
You now have the ability to change your password as well as your backup email. If you don’t remember your password you can reset it using the “Forgot your password?” button. An email with instructions on how to recover your password will be sent to your backup email.
Regarding phishing attempt to retrieve @espiv.net email passwords
We noticed that in the last hours a phishing email was sent to a lot of espiv
email addresses. The malicious email was inducing users to login to check for
new email messages. However the link to login was in a third party server, and
it was not https://mail.espiv.net. The webpage that it lead to, was identical
with the login page of espiv webmail. In case somebody tried to login at this
page, the malicious site would have in their possession, the credentials of
this user.
You should not, in any case, try to login at this site. Always check the url
address at the url bar, and make sure that you are on the correct page that
you want to login (https://mail.espiv.net). If for any reason you logged in
the malicious site, you should change your password immediately from
https://mail.espiv.net, how-to.
