      KeePass. Been using it for years.

      It's simple, great for organizing, and the auto-type just works.

        Sorry, that UI looks like something from the '60's!

          Ever hear of a "Rat Rod"?

          If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It just works as intended. Doesn't have to look pretty, but as soon as the poser hears, "Race you for Pinks" it's a done deal.

            Have you looked at https://1password.com/
            Btw, I tried (actually paid for it) Dashlane...no thanks. Terrible, gawd awful support!

            With this you can share Passwords very well. Bitwarden is pretty good.

              Lastpass, NextCloud Passwords and ManageEngine Password Manager Pro (which integrates with Service Desk Plus). All with slightly different purposes. We use the Lastpass for users, we have LastPass Enterprise with some negotiated pricing, and we do shared folders for departments.

                  Yeah we use this as a department solution.
                  Lives on a network share that we can all access.

                  Personal stuff I use LastPass and really like it.

                    Why not just use Firefox? They have a dedicated password manager now, and it is higher quality than the password storage features in Chrome and the like.

                    For me the answer is centralized policy control. There are a variety of tweaks I can make to LastPass users usage. Forcing master password changes, forcing 2FA, having a master account to force resets for users who fail password recovery, limiting access, etc.

                    So this is for business users??

                      Unless the user is using Firefox sync, if the hard drive crap out or their Windows profile, they will lose all their passwords.

                        The Enterprise version is a multi-user business version yes. They offer LastPass in a variety of different flavors for personal and business use.

                          Using Bitwarden collections is pretty awesome. It took a moment to understand how to use it correctly since I didn't bothered reading the documentation for first.

                              Based on the OPs description they would have to be using FF sync, if it was on the table, to meet the requirements.

                                Those are my thoughts too. It's easy, built-in, no extra things to worry about.

                                All you need to do is tell them to use FireFox and sign in and sync.

                                It works on all devices, even phone. And you can retrieve a username/password if needed.

                                        Maybe Edge Chromium could be a good candidate to try. That's what I'm using and have been using as my main browser for over a year now. At this point, it's very polished and I've never had any issues with it. You can sign in and sync almost everything, and it also works on all devices including phones. Same concept as FireFox, but there are Group Policies for controlling it now. For business, it may work out better than FireFox.
