Re: Password Storage

We are also using Thycotic Secret Server and have been for four or five
years now. We've had it in a "high availability" configuration (basically
an active/passive failover configuration) for about three years. We don't
use the automatic password change functionality (one of these days...), but
we have a few dozen people from three different teams using the vault on a
daily basis and it works quite well.

Support is always a pleasure to work with; I usually just do upgrades with
one of their folks over a GoToMeeting screen share, and it goes smoothly.
Integrating it with our two factor solution was easy as well (they have
out-of-the-box support for pure RADIUS solutions like SecurID; our solution
requires a little extra).

My department, we use KeePass, it’s decent, but I personally use
1Password, and they have 1Password for teams now.

Bill,



Are you allowing others on campus to use the personal version, or are you
using the enterprise version for your campus?





Thanks,

I’m personally using lastpass, and I’ve been recommending it to people
here that ask for a password manager.





Thanks!

Does anyone have any recommendations for password storage?



We’re evaluating Keeper (which we’ve heard some disparaging things about
their support), and Last Pass.





Thanks,



Kevin
