Manage Passwords between multiple individuals

Question

My co-workers and I frequently share passwords for many different online services. We are constantly emailing each other passwords and resetting them because of the difficulty in locating the old ones. Is there a way we can share and manage passwords securely and efficiently that will work for multiple people?

I came across this answer which I really liked. However, I don't see it working between multiple indiviuals. Many of us already have personal dropboxes and it isn't realistic to switch back and forth to sync new passwords.

Answer 1

Use KeePass and use a single KeePass DB (kdb file) stored on a shared drive or in a DropBox. Store all your passwords in that databse and they can all access it.

Answer 2

We use a shared file on a network drive (Notepad, Excel, etc). You can use a cryptography app to keep the whole file under a password as well. While Google Docs is probably OK, I would keep this particular type file off the web if possible.

Answer 3

We use PassPack to share passwords in our IT department. PassPack allows you to share passwords between different users. You can used the online version or the installable AIR application so you can sync passwords locally and use them offline. They have a free version so you can try it out.

Answer 4

In my opinion the easiest way would be to create a Google doc document and share that with my co-workers (and only them). That way you can decide who has only view privileges and who has edit privileges.

Answer 5

Might be a little bit developer-centric, but with my team at work I use KeePass and Subversion. There are a bunch of sites that offer free Subversion (or SVN as you might see it called) accounts; my favorite is Beanstalk.

You will do well to use an SVN client as well. The most popular one for Windows is TortoiseSVN, and you can use the free version of SmartSVN on a Mac.

Again, maybe a bit tech-y but will definitely do the job.
