Ask Slashdot: Open Source Multi-User Password Management?

An anonymous reader writes "I work in a network environment that requires multiple people to have access to numerous Wireless Access Keys, iTunes/iCloud accounts/passwords, hardware appliance logins, etc. I'm attempting to replace the ever popular 'protected' excel spreadsheet that exists in almost every network with all usernames and passwords just waiting to be discovered. Are there any open source, multi-user, secure and preferably Linux-based password management tools that the Slashdot community would recommend?"

Better than the last place I worked at

It was all done on a network drive in Notepad. (Ironic thing is it was a security-related department)

Was it in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'?

It's not a bad idea in principle, I have a client which has lots of outlets and each uses around 10 different login for various services, I supply them with a printout each month and they keep it locked in a safe at head office. There's also a little encryption on it to stop casual usage (the passwords aren't the real passwords, they've been altered using an algorithm that only two company directors know).

Of course, a filing cabinet isn't the best option, Feynman proved this by breaking into many of them at Los Alamos and leaving little notes. Instead of changing the security systems the military put out a memo saying that Prof Feynman was not to be left alone with a filing cabinet.

Of course,

You can use notepad...

Is one an offer letter for you from my firm? because it's been recinded...

I love having the password on my monitor. However I didn't like the appearance of all those Post-it notes stuck to it. So instead I changed all my passwords to "Samsung".
