On the main screen, you can see all of the stored data, filter and search it. You can see that this user has access to passwords that concern the whole team, and to passwords concerning finance.
Clicking on the refresh icon above the password will let you generate a new, stronger password for this account. You still need to change it manually, so copy the old one somewhere while you are doing this.
The "URI 1" field is important, as it indicates on which page the password manager should automatically fill in the password. In this case, when you visit the zoom sign-in page, you can automatically fill in all three Zoom passwords depending on what you need. This has the benefit of additional security, as a fake page pretending to be Zoom will not offer as a valid auto-fill. For passwords you add, this should be the link to the sign-in page.
In notes, you can put whatever else may be needed to know about this entry.
Convenient access to oikos passwords
"oikos Vault" is a password manager that you should use to store all of your passwords for oikos-related accounts, and which you can also use to access shared passwords that you may need based on your role. It's intended as a secure replacement to the old "tools & costs" excel sheets.
A password manager is a central place where you should write down your passwords. All of your passwords are then protected by a single password: your master password. It should be very strong, as it protects all of the others.
This also means that ideally, you don't need to remember any of your other passwords - the password manager will automatically fill them in when you are logging into these websites! It's truly convenient and means that you can use very strong passwords(random, 32 characters, etc) since you won't need to remember them personally.
To use the password manager most effectively, you should install the Chrome or Firefox extension. In Chrome, this is convenient, as it can be installed into a separate oikos profile.
As soon as it is installed, you can add it to your home bar by clicking the pin icon in the extension menu.
On the login screen, click the little cogwheel icon.
On the following screen, enter https://vault.oikos-international.org and click save.
Click "Log In", and log in with your account.
When you are on a page that has a password saved, you can see this by the number on the icon. Click the icon and choose the account you want to sign in as. The information should be filled out automatically.
You can also use the user and password icons to copy each respectively, or search all entries at the top, in case this doesn't work.
The extension also allows you to add new logins. This has the benefit of filling out the URI automatically.
Make sure to select where to store this password: if you choose the oikos organization, you can also select which group the password should belong to.
TODO!
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.
