Password Managers

I would recommend LastPass right up until LogMeIn bought them out. Their business model is to double, triple, then quadruple the price while simultaneously removing features from their free product. In fact, it's already happening.

KeePass is a great personal solution.
It is not a business solution.
Hell the Premium LastPass solution is barely usable in a business environment. Only in a really small environment like the one I have, because you can only have a single shared folder.

I wrote a how-to on Spiceworks on how to run KeePass on multiple devices a couple of years ago.
This is why KeePass is not even valid for my own personal use. It is too much work to maintain in a completely useful way.
If you have to think this hard to enable this across all devices 100%, then it is not going to be used 100% and that makes it worthless.

But most of that was for the initial setup of KeePass. Something that people typically won't do more than once. You'd have to go through those steps just to use KeePass in the first place.

You have to maintain a copy of the same DB file across multiple devices. This is more complicated. Always, because you have to ensure that said copy is always fully synchronized.
You have to install a third party app, your chosen sync app, to even use the main password app, which is also third party and not from KeePass itself.
Conversely, I buy a subscription from LastPass or Dashlane and move on.

We have keepass for our IT stuff. I'd like to find something that would allow me to create users and dictate which users can see which credentials.

Check out Thycotic when you get a chance. It does require a server and a database, such as Windows Internal Database Server in order to store the passwords, but the DBMS can be stored on the same server as the application as well.

@nerdydad They were pretty clear in that article that free password managers aren't included because they have their own roundup.
So this is only the "paid to be on the list" list.
Is SANS part of Gartner now?
I realize SANS only promoted the publication here, but... really?

Have you tried it with Keeweb?

I might have to try that out.

It's pretty nice. Both the desktop app and the one built into NextCloud are pretty nice, and compatible with KeePass. So you have lots of options of how to use it.

I have an issue from time-to-time with the one in NextCloud where instead of opening my file, it tries to make me download it.
But I have just gone and done KeePass + NextCloud on all my devices. Problem solved.

Have any of you tried Enpass?

I started using that when KeePassX at the time didn't support KeePass 2 new format.

What did you think of it compared to KeePass?

$10 for the mobile app? Everything is free except for that.

Enpass is pretty basic compare to KeePass. I think KeePass has more options, especially with customizing generated passwords.
Enpass UI looks same on my Mac and Windows. I just tried it again, but this on my Fedora Gnome3 and looks pretty good too. -

$2 a month for LastPass Premium is a lot better value.

There is another downside when sharing the database with multiple users:
http://keepass.info/help/base/multiuser.html1Password used to be free and allowed you to have up to 20 passwords saved and sync between devices with their app with Dropbox or shared storage but now is 1Password for Teams which cost starting $3.99 per user.
