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?"

Wallet

Wallet is a Kerberos-based secret management tool. It works well for me.

KeePassX

[Anonymous Coward]

KeePassX (v1) comes in the Fedora and Ubuntu repositories, and has Windows binaries. You can use simultaneous key and password encryption (if you're worried about keyloggers, or if you have to share the password in an unsafe way). It can also generate passwords of varying complexity.

KeePass

[st0nerhat]

KeePass satisfies all of your criteria:

• Open Source: It uses an OSI-certified license.
• Multi-user: You can throw the database on a Samba, NFS, etc. share and it will merge changes between different users that have the DB open at the same time.
• Secure: Supports multi-factor authentication.
• Linux-based: Works with Mono.

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".
