Suggestions for Company Wide Password Vault?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-don't-lose-the-combination dept.

androidtopp asks: "My company, an IT and business consulting firm of around 150 people, is looking for a Password Vault/Manager/Database solution to manage the numerous passwords we've developed in the course of a major internal network and server upgrade. Our must haves are multiple privilege levels (I don't need to see network passwords, and the network guys don't need to see database passwords, and so on) and it would be nice if we could view when people last retrieved each password. Does anyone manage passwords in this fashion at their work/home? A lot of the free password managers are one user, full access, which is a little less secure than we need. How do other companies (small or large) manage the hundreds of server, network, database, and application passwords that must crop up?"

    Buy bulk post-it notes and a novelty sized keyboard.

  2. Several lockable closets by TubeSteak · · Score: 3, Funny

    Each closet will have a whiteboard.
    Each whiteboard will have post-it notes covered in [database/network/other] passwords.

    Hand out keys.
    Key the locks so that only the people who need to have access to the closeted passwords can open the door.

    Problem solved. Right?
    And you don't even have to get rid of the post-it notes.
