Access — passwords, keys, and logging in

This section is for anyone who needs to sign in to Saxon's accounts or this documentation site — including family after Saxon has died, or Ryan taking over the tech.

You do not need to understand servers or networking to use these guides. Follow the numbered steps in order.

Passwords are never in these pages

Usernames might be mentioned. Passwords, PINs, account numbers, and recovery codes live only in Vaultwarden — see Where passwords live.

Start here

I need to… Open this guide
Understand where secrets are stored Where passwords live
Open the password vault in a browser Open Vaultwarden

The three things you will use most

  1. Vaultwarden — vault.saxobroko.com — every password and bank login detail
  2. Authentik — auth.saxobroko.com — sign-in for this docs site (via Cloudflare Access)
  3. Two YubiKeys — small USB security keys; one at the desk, one on a keychain — for extra login protection on important sites
  1. Read Where passwords live — two minutes, saves hours of confusion
  2. Read What is 2FA? if the words "security key" or "authenticator" are new
  3. Follow Open Vaultwarden — you need the vault before almost anything else
  4. Follow Open the docs site — to read finance and server guides
  5. Keep Login troubleshooting bookmarked for when something breaks
