Enterprise Password Managers

Updated: July 31, 2023

Enterprise password managers are specialized software solutions designed to securely manage and store passwords for large organizations and businesses. These password managers enable employees to generate, store, and access complex and unique passwords for various applications and services with ease. They typically offer features like role-based access controls, multi-factor authentication, and centralized administration, allowing IT administrators to enforce security policies and monitor password usage across the organization. Enterprise password managers help improve security by reducing the risk of password-related vulnerabilities, such as weak passwords and password reuse. They also simplify password management for employees, increasing productivity and reducing password-related helpdesk requests. By providing a robust and centralized password management solution, enterprise password managers play a crucial role in enhancing cybersecurity and protecting sensitive information for organizations with large numbers of users and complex IT infrastructures.

2015. Intel to close password manager service PasswordBox



Within a year of its acquisition by Intel, PasswordBox is discontinuing its password manager service and encouraging users to transition to Intel's alternative, True Key, which was launched earlier this year. True Key offers a freemium model, but the free version is limited to storing only 15 passwords. Users who wish to store an 'unlimited' number of passwords (up to 2,000) must pay a subscription fee of $20 per year. PasswordBox also follows a freemium model, allowing users to store up to 25 passwords for free. Beyond that limit, users can either opt for a $1 monthly subscription or invite friends to use the service to gain access to unlimited password storage. Consequently, users migrating to True Key may incur higher costs for their password management requirements.


2015. Password manager Zoho Vault allows users to sign-up from Android devices



Online password management software, Zoho Vault, has introduced several new features. The Android app for Zoho Vault has been updated to enable users to sign up directly from their devices.

Additionally, users can now effortlessly change the type of secrets, such as from Windows to Unix, without the previous requirement of deleting and recreating the entire secret.
