Information Technology Advisory and Support Service (ITASS)

ITASS and ATOMWIDE are pleased to announce the launch of PASSWORD VAULT.

The USO Passwrd Vault is a secure application that allows you to store all the different logins and passwords that are used for various different systems all in one place. The passwords are held securely and are accessible by entering your normal USO login and password.

Access to the password vault is https://support.atomwide.com and available under the option - MY ACCOUNT.

The cost of this service is free and use is not compulsory - however with the data security becoming increasing high on the agenda, and with more and more applications requiring usernames and passwords that are chargeable for users who forget them and need them reset! We ask that you inform all your colleagues about this new facility that is available for them to use if they wish!

Please see the instruction document for help on using this service.

We have been working with our corporate colleagues to restore Newham Council intranet access for schools. This work has been completed and the system has also been developed for future use, which means that when further internal council systems are developed these will be able to be accessed in the same way. For detailed instructions on accessing the intranet, see our helpguide.
