After accepting the invitation, you will be prompted to log in. If you have not previously created a Bitwarden account with your cpcc.edu email address, you will be prompted to do so (figure 1.2). Select "Enterprise single sign-on" (figure 1.3) where you will be prompted to sign in to the CPCC Azure single sing-on portal.

You will then be prompted to create a master password (figure 1.4), this will be used to decrypt you password database.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE USER HITS SUBMIT? WHAT DO THEY NEED TO DO?

 

After creating your master password and logging in the first time you will see a blank vault and a notification window in the top right telling you your account needs to be verified. The account verification process will be completed by ITS.  When verification is complete you should see your department and personal vaults on the left hand side. Please hold off on migrating any passwords until verification is complete.
