To access the password manager, go to: https://vault.oikos-international.org
If you don't have an account, please create a ticket with the area "Vault". We offer access to the password manager for every oikos International staff member and international team volunteers. To get access to all the passwords you need, we would need the information in which circles you are currently active.
Please follow the steps below in order to set up your account, once we create it. You will know that we did when you receive an email from "oikos Vault".
Please look for the email that states "Join oikos Vault". Click "Join Organization Now".
You will need this email twice. It's the same later on.
On the page that will open, please choose "Create Account".
Enter your name and a master password. Your master password is the password that encrypts all of your passwords. It should be unique, more than 16 characters and unpredictable. Ideally, this is the only password you will remember.
TAKE CARE! If you lose this password, everything you have saved in your personal storage will be gone!
We will not be able to recover any of your passwords or notes, as they are encrypted with your master password. This protects your data from outside access, but prevents us from restoring your own access if you forget your own password!
On the following screen, please select "Send Email" in the yellow box.
Then, look for the following email in your inbox and click the link inside.
On the main screen after logging in, please click the account icon in the upper right corner and choose "Account Settings".
On the following screen, please select "Security", "Two-step login" and "Manage" on the authenticator
After entering your master password once more, install an authenticator app on your phone. I can recommend Authy or Google Authenticator.
Scan the code with the app and enter a verification code, then click "Enable". Done!
Next, please look for the email titled "Join oikos International". Open it and click "Join Organization Now".
Like mentioned, that's the same mail as mentioned at the beginning of this guide.
On the following screen, please choose "Log in" and log in again
Then log in again. You should see a green message popping up, noting that you will have access as soon as we approve it. As soon as we do this, you should be able to see all of the passwords you need to have access to!
Next, please look into setting up the chrome extension for the password manager.
