Why? Because many cloud services and shopping sites don't offer sophisticated user management, making shared passwords a necessity. Once multiple people have access to the same account, it is impossible to know who exactly used it or when. Despite this, companies (including us) often have to deal with shared passwords. There are some general rules for creating and managing passwords in teams. One of them is: don't share passwords. In this article, I want to share how 1Password helps the K15t team manage and share passwords. So, nobody at K15t Software remembers (or types) passwords anymore: except for the master password.Įven though 1Password worked well for us, we ran into a couple of problems – especially when it came to sharing team passwords, or dealing with 1Password's Linux incompatibility. Luckily, AgileBits – the company behind 1Password – recently released 1Password for Teams, solving almost all of our problems. Of course, sometimes new team members need to be reminded to store all their passwords in 1Password, but as soon as they know how to access passwords in their browser and on their mobile device, they're onboard. But when my fellow team members at K15t Software do it, I feel especially uncomfortable – because we simply cannot compromise our company security.Īfter introducing 1Password, a password manager, at K15t Software a couple of years ago, it has become part of our standard toolkit. When I see my friends and family (hi Mom, hi Dad!) typing passwords instead of using a password manager, I always get an uneasy feeling.
