I’ve looked into Thycotic; does the “all in one basket” aspect concern you? A problem with the server (corruption / 
failure / etc) and you have no passwords? What DR options do you have with your vault?

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).

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
