Depending on your preferences, it might be worth looking into GNU pass. You have to do the additional setup of syncing/sharing password stores (Keybase can work for this) and users need to have basic knowledge of working with PGP keys. Encryption is done via per-user GPG, which is convenient, easy and secure if you're used to it and frustrating if you aren't already and not willing to take the hour or two necessary to get fully up to speed. There are tons of clients for various platforms and use-cases.
KeepassXC can work fine, but it's not super integrated in terms of alternative clients, CLI, mobile etc. If you go with keepass, make sure to use XC (the most recent community fork AFAIK). Similarly to GNU Pass, you need to sort out syncing yourself and have the additional hassle of maintaining a shared secret, and alternatively a shared keyfile. If one is compromised, you need to make everyone rotate, which in practice leads to lazy teams never rotating keys and even using keys they know probably are compromised already.
LastPass is horrible, in my experience. The web app is incredibly buggy and the only thing that really works somewhat well is the browser extension, which I don't trust much.
1password is a slight step up from LastPass.
I heard great things about BitWarden and it looks compelling but haven't tried it yet.
Hashicorp Vault is great, but IMO not suitable for "manual" credentials and more for provisioning and maintaining secrets that are fetched by your internal services. If you need non-engineers to have access to it for shared web app accounts etc, Vault is probably not a good choice.
- Evidlo 7y agoKeePass has many alternative clients for each platform.
- techntoke 7y agoAs does pass (although, gopass is a good compatible alternative with more features). I really like how it works with Git for version history as well and GnuPG (PGP) is industry standard within the security sector. gopass has browser plugins readily available, and it supports TOTP.
