Training User to Login to their Accounts – with the Password Manager (BitWarden)

I produced this video walkthrough for a client, whilst implementing a password management system for their online accounts and training them on how to use it.

The video demonstrates how to use the Password Manager’s browser extension, showcasing the handy feature “auto-fill,” to automatically fill in the user’s login details when landing on the “Sign-In page.”

 

Helping User to share Project Files – and Collaborate with Team Members on OneDrive

I created this guide in response to a support ticket, integrating the AI tool: Scribe – to speed up the process of developing professional-looking support guides.

The Support Guide details the process of project collaboration, which involves granting a Team Member access to their OneDrive files, and assigning specific permissions such as View Only, Can Edit, Set Password.
