What you need to get started #
-
Your work email address.
-
An authenticator app. Microsoft Authenticator or another supported Authenticator (DUO Security or Keeper Security Password Manager).
Why the IT Documentation Portal (ITGlue) matters #
-
See company devices (Configurations), staff (Contacts), domains, locations, and other documentation.
-
Use Passwords for personal passwords (private to you) or shared credentials for teams or IT.
- DIY Audit billable line items to Users, Servers, and Workstations (compare to invoice)
-
Add and update documentation items. Everything is audited. Participation is tracked.
Part A — Create your Account and Login for the First Time #
Step 1 — Check your inbox for the “invite” #

Part B — Set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) #
Note: If your organization’s account is older than 30 days in the system, MFA is on by default for all users. If less than 30 days, MFA may be off temporarily to improve adoption and login success. We HIGHLY recommend to setup this on your own before 30 days is past.

Personal vs Shared passwords #
-
Personal passwords are visible only to you.
-
Shared passwords are visible to the groups you select or to IT. Use shared for team accounts and infrastructure credentials.

-
Reset link expired. Request a new link from the same page.
-
MFA code not accepted. Set your phone time to automatic. Use a fresh 6-digit code.
-

BONUS CONTENT: Use a Dedicated Password Manager (Strongly Recommended) #
A dedicated password manager is faster, easier, and more secure than storing most passwords in the documentation portal. The IT Documentation portal is great for IT infrastructure credentials and shared technical notes. A password manager is meant for every password you use.
Why a password manager is better #
-
Works everywhere. Use a browser extension, a desktop app, a mobile app, or a web vault. Autofill and capture new logins with one click.
-
Creates strong passwords. Built-in generators create long, unique passwords for every site.
-
Saves time. Autofill reduces login friction and cut-and-paste errors.
-
Keeps personal and work items separate. Personal vaults stay private. Shared vaults handle team accounts with permissions.
-
Centralized sharing. Give access to a team or role without emailing passwords. Revoke access instantly when someone changes teams.
-
Audits and reports. See weak, reused, or old passwords. Track items that need rotation.
-
Strong security. End-to-end encryption, MFA, role-based access, and detailed audit logs.
Breach-watch awareness #
Modern password managers include continuous breach monitoring features. These services:
-
Check your saved usernames and domains against known breach data.
-
Alert you when a site you use has been compromised.
-
Flag reused, weak, or old passwords.
-
Recommend actions, such as “change this password now” or “enable MFA.”
This reduces one of the highest risks in IT: breached or simple passwords that are easy to guess.
How it fits with the documentation portal #
-
Keep infrastructure and shared IT credentials in the portal so IT can audit and reference them with related documentation.
-
Keep all personal and everyday website passwords in the password manager for speed and convenience.
-
Store MFA one-time codes where you manage that specific login. Many password managers can store OTP codes alongside the password if your policy allows it.
Quick start for employees #
-
Use the Web vault (easy, slow), install the desktop application (easy, slow), install the mobile app (moderate, fast) or browser extension (hard, fast)
-
Turn on MFA for your password manager account.
-
Create strong passwords using the password generator as you log in to sites. Save each one to the vault.
-
Watch for password and login breaches. Review and fix any alerts.
-
Use shared folders or collections for team accounts. Do not email passwords.
-
Review your security report weekly and rotate any weak or reused passwords.
Tips for managers #
-
Set the expectation that staff utilize a password manager to secure, monitor, and store company credentials.
-
Require MFA for all users.
-
Require breach monitoring and periodic security reviews.
-
Use role-based access and shared folders aligned to teams
Bottom line: Use the documentation portal for IT-centric credentials and reference. Use a dedicated password manager for everything else. This combination gives you speed for daily work and strong controls for cybersecurity.
