By aligning our accounts to @horizonednet.org, we are activating enterprise-grade security for every staff member. You no longer need to manage multiple different passwords or worry about public Wi-Fi.
Working from a coffee shop, a conference or the airport? One click ensures your connection is encrypted and our data stays private.
Stop reusing passwords or writing them on sticky notes. Proton Pass securely remembers everything for you—and even generates ultra-secure passwords automatically.
No more "Forgot Password" loops. Use your Horizon Google account to sign into all Horizon's systems with a single click.
If you need access to Horizon's Office network remotely, use Proton.
AND
Always, if it’s Public, Use Proton.
Whenever you are connecting to the internet on a network you don’t personally own or trust, your VPN should be ON.
Coffee Shops & Cafes: Public Wi-Fi is notorious for "man-in-the-middle" attacks where hackers can intercept your data.
Airports & Hotels: These networks are massive targets for data theft.
Conferences & Events: High-density public networks are rarely secure.
Not at all. It’s an app on your computer or phone. You open it, click "Quick Connect," and you're done. It’s essentially a "digital shield" for your internet connection.
Yes! Using a professional manager like Proton Pass Pro is the #1 thing you can do to protect Horizon (and yourself) from cyber threats. Since it’s the "Pro" version, it also handles two-factor authentication (2FA) codes for you, so you don't have to fumble with your phone.
We chose Proton because they are world leaders in "Zero-Knowledge" encryption. It adds an extra layer of safety: Google handles your Identity, and Proton handles your Vault.
Exactly. Instead of having separate passwords for the CMS, Jira, and our Student Information System (SIS), you will only need to remember your one Horizon Google password. When you see a "Sign in with Google" button on any of our authorized services, just click it. Your identity is automatically verified, and you’re in.
If you are accessing another third-party service where we can't setup Single-Sign-On, you can store the credential in Proton Pass and it can be optionally set to auto-fill that credential whenever you visit that site again.
Your password updates everywhere simultaneously. You won’t have to go into five different apps to reset your credentials. One change in Google protects your entire "Horizon Identity," including your Proton vault and our internal platforms.
In most cases, yes! Once you’ve signed into your Chrome browser with your @horizonednet.org account, other services like Jira or the LMS will recognize you automatically. You’ll often find yourself skipping the "login screen" entirely, moving seamlessly between your tools without being asked for a password every time.
