Signing in to all your Applications

While your computer was just being set up, a bunch of new applications were being installed. As you may know, when an application is installed, the first thing it likes to do is open itself. We understand that the number of applications that open may be overwhelming, but we'll walk you through what to do with each one.

Note: From now on, all of your sign-ins will use your BridgeBio Email address and your Okta password.
