We finally want to roll out a password manager: where do we start?

The single most important basic tool that prevents 80% of phishing damage. Not complicated to introduce if you make a few choices up front.

Try this first

  1. 1Pick between team managers (1Password Business, Bitwarden Business, Keeper); all three are fine. Bitwarden is cheapest, 1Password has the best UX. Avoid loose personal accounts for business use.
  2. 2First week: just you and one trusted colleague. Import your own passwords, learn how shared vaults work. Do not roll out yet.
  3. 3Create vaults per team (Sales, Finance, IT-shared). Not one giant vault where everyone sees everything.
  4. 4Roll out per team with a 30-minute walkthrough. Not by email. People who do not get it will keep sticky-notes on laptops.
  5. 5Enable MFA on the password manager itself. This is now the safe, it has to be heavily protected.

When to bring us in

For rollouts beyond 15 people, or when shared customer credentials need to live there: let us help design the structure. Getting it right once saves a lot of mess later.
