Password manager for ordinary users?
-
Been a personal/family account last pass user for users, last year brought the enterprise version into the IT dept here at my org. I've been pushing to also get us to pay for accounts for all of our users since we ask them to remember multiple credentials. I think that'll happen later this year so happy about that.

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.

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.

A quick and easy way to share a password:

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.

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.

https://bitwarden.com/blog/post/whats-the-right-way-to-share-passwords/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.

I think client is on edge or chrome but regardless of that it's a good idea.
I didn't know that Firefox had expanded their portfolio and now have something called Firefox Lockwise.
