Ask HN: Password sharing for remote teams

2 pointsby thehodgeover 11 years ago
Hey HN, We are hiring at the moment (linkrisk.com&#x2F;jobs ;) &lt;&#x2F;plug&gt;) and one of the things that is on my list to sort out is a decent way of sharing passwords between some of our team, we have two offices and at the moment I control all the passwords and that&#x27;s not scalable.<p>I know many people use LastPass but I&#x27;m interested in what startups on HN use.

You can use keepassx and dropbox to sync between employees.<p>I also sent you an email as I&#x27;m the creator of <a href="https://elipsis.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elipsis.io</a> (<a href="https://github.com/nherment/elipsis" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;nherment&#x2F;elipsis</a>) and have been interested in implementing such feature for a while. I&#x27;d appreciate your input.

I&#x27;d check out Meldium, but honestly the goal should be to not share passwords at all. Instead, use services that let you grant each user their own account. Otherwise you&#x27;ll have to change <i>every</i> shared password whenever you fire someone.

KISS.<p>Dropbox and a password-protected spread-sheet. You may want to encrypt it further depending on your needs.<p>Edit: You may not even need drop-box if you have some sort of shared repository you use (which most do).

I&#x27;ve also heard of (but not used) Keepass
