Morning,

We’ve been using Password Safe by Bruce Schneier (https://pwsafe.org) for individuals.  It is open source, last updated 
in December, and has hooks for 2FA.

We are looking at Password State for the enterprise level.

Subject: [SECURITY] Password managers

Hi All,

We’re starting to do some exploratory work to see what end-user password managers are working well across the sector, 
and can work with our use cases with professional staff, students and research communities.  Some of the solutions 
we’ve identified through Google searches include:

·        LastPass

·        Dashlane

·        Password State

·        Stashword

·        Bit Warden

·        Zoho

·        StickyPassword

·        RoboForm

We’re looking to hopefully integrate with Okta for SSO (SAML), and provide some kind of ability to on-board users if 
they already use a password safe, and off-board users gracefully when they cease being a student or member of staff, 
i.e. let them take their own secrets with them when they leave, and for us to hold on to University secrets.

The solution also needs to be cost-effective.

Has anyone got any suggestions on what’s worked for them, and any other options not listed above that we should 
consider?

Many Thanks,  Patrick
