======Getting Setup With Password Safe======

Author: Sophie Renshaw

===== Introduction =====

At Errigal we have a number of different applications, servers (both our own and our customers), web accounts and databases. Trying to remember all those passwords can become a bit tricky. 

To help with this and to ensure everything stays secure we use Password Safe to manage these passwords.

You will receive a link to a download of password safe from HR.

===== Using Password Safe =====

Password safe uses .psafe files to store the password. 

The latest ones can be accessed in the Errigal Dropbox in ''Errigal Shared Documents/Team'' 

Using Password Safe to open one of these you will be prompted for a password to allow you to access. 

Please contact your mentor to retrieve this password - we want to keep everything as secure as possible.

When you have entered the password for your Password Safe file you will see a list on the right hand side of different servers, databases, web accounts etc. 

You can click through these or search in the top left for whatever you are looking for.

Once you have selected the server, database or web account password that you would like to see click the little glasses icon at the bottom to reveal the password.

Password Safe will eventually time out after inactivity requiring you to re-enter the password to gain access again.
