1Password – Setup & Usage

1Password securely stores all your passwords, accessible with your Master Password, which only the systems team can retrieve. All rtCampers are offered a 1Password account. For more details, click here.

Setting Up

You’ll receive an invite via email. If not, request help on Slack (#help) or submit a Helpdesk ticket. Download the desktop, mobile apps, and browser extension. After signing in on the first device, subsequent devices will require a secret key. Use your rtCamp.com email and secret link to connect.

Get started with this helpful article to learn how to save, fill, and manage passwords. 1Password also supports 2FA, eliminating the need for apps like Authy or Google Authenticator.

Vaults

On the left, you’ll see vaults to organize credentials.

• Private Vault: Your personal credentials, accessible only to you.
• Shared Vault: Common credentials, with read-only access for most. For adding credentials, consult your manager.

Setting Up 2FA for rtCamp Accounts

Enabling 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) is mandatory for your work email and GitHub account at rtCamp.
You must complete 2FA on your first day to avoid account lockout. Accounts will be locked by day 3 if 2FA isn’t set up.

Steps to Set Up 2FA for Google Account:

1. Login to your rtCamp Google account at https://myaccount.google.com
2. Go to the Security tab on the left and select 2-Step Verification.

• Click Get Started, enter your phone number, and verify with the code sent to your phone.

3. Optional but recommended:
   Click “Backup Codes” on the page you land right after the earlier step. Download these backup codes and save them to a safe location (preferably your 1Password private vault).

Setting Up GitHub 2FA for rtCamp

Most of our work happens on rtCamp’s internal GitHub repo. While not everyone needs access to the org group, it’s a good idea to create a GitHub profile using your personal email.  GitHub is used for both public and private code repos and you might want to access your account even after leaving rtCamp.

Enabling 2FA

1. Create your GitHub profile if you haven’t already.
2. Go to Settings > Password and Authentication.
3. Enable 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) using a code generator or 1Password.

Note: 2FA is required to join rtCamp’s GitHub Org.

Requesting Access

If you need access, visit the #help channel on Slack and ask the @sys team. Be sure to confirm that 2FA is enabled on your GitHub account—they’ll only add you if it is.
