Best 10 Bitwarden Alternatives

Bitwarden is a popular open-source business password manager that you can use as a cloud service or host yourself. Plans start $4 per user per month for Teams and $6 for Enterprise, billed annually, and there are a host of features, like SSO, enterprise policies, and Access Intelligence alerts on at-risk credentials.

But while Bitwarden is a strong solution, the password manager space is competitive, and you may be looking for alternative options to consider for your team.

With this in mind, we’ve compared 10 business password managers as alternatives to Bitwarden.

We looked at where each one stores vault data, whether its code is open source, which plans include SSO, SCIM and admin policies, passkey support, breach monitoring, how it imports from Bitwarden, and pricing.

What is a Business Password Manager?

A business password manager gives every employee an encrypted vault for their work logins. It generates strong passwords, fills them into websites and apps, and lets teams share logins through shared folders or collections.

Admins can add and remove users, set password rules, and see which passwords are weak, reused, or exposed.

A password manager encrypts vault data on the user's device before it syncs, so the vendor's servers hold only data they can't decrypt (zero-knowledge or end-to-end encryption).

Teams can share credentials through collections, shared folders or shared vaults, each with its own permissions.

Single sign-on (SSO) connects sign-in to the company's identity provider, and SCIM provisioning adds and removes users as the directory changes. Most tools now store passkeys alongside passwords and keep audit logs of who accessed or changed a credential.

Most products run in the vendor's cloud. Some also offer a self-hosted server that your team installs and updates, and some store encrypted vaults in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant.

Licensing varies too: some vendors release all their code under an open-source license, others keep an open-source core and put enterprise modules under a source-available license that requires a paid subscription for production use.

How We Tested

We’ve looked at around a dozen business password managers over several years. We’ve done hands on testing of the user experience and admin policy controls. We’ve also considered SSO and SCIM provisioning, breach monitoring and deployment. This article was researched and written by Joel Witts, with technical review by Craig MacAlpine. Read our full methodology

1.

Keeper Security

Keeper Security Logo
Keeper Security

Best for organizations wanting deep admin controls with a path into PAM

Keeper is an enterprise password manager for businesses of all sizes, built on a zero-knowledge architecture where vault data is encrypted and decrypted locally on the user’s device. Keeper says it has never experienced a data breach.

The platform extends into privileged access management with KeeperPAM and into secrets management with Keeper Secrets Manager. We think Keeper stands out for being extremely intuitive and easy to use. It suits organizations that need strong security controls with a very straightforward end user experience.

Keeper secures more than 100,000 organizations globally.

  • Each vault record is encrypted on your device with its own AES-256 key, and sharing between users uses Elliptic Curve Cryptography
  • KeeperFill autofills passwords, passkeys, 2FA codes, and payment cards in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, and Brave
  • Admins organize users into Nodes, Teams, and Roles, with policies enforced by role
  • The Enterprise plan adds SAML 2.0 SSO, SCIM provisioning with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Ping, and OneLogin, and AD/LDAP sync through the AD Bridge
  • Self-Managed Keeper is a deployment option that runs as containers in your own environment, including on-premises and air-gapped deployments
  • Cloud data stays in the region you choose: US, US Government, EU, Australia, Japan, or Canada
  • BreachWatch, a paid add-on, provides active monitoring of dark web breach data while maintaining zero-knowledge, and Advanced Reporting & Alerts adds audit trails, SIEM integration, and event-based alerting
  • Keeper imports Bitwarden exports in CSV format

In our testing, Keeper stood out for both its range of admin controls and its user experience. Admins can set granular security policies from a fast, responsive console, and a built-in search tool takes you straight to the setting you need. The documentation is strong, with a quick start guide, video overviews, and detailed written docs.

Keeper is cost-effective. Pricing is billed annually: Business Starter is $2 per user per month for teams of 5 to 10 users, Business is $4 per user per month, and Enterprise is $6 per user per month. Keeper prices KeeperPAM and Self-Managed Keeper on quote. With that said, the paid add-ons can make the total cost expensive for larger teams.

If you need a secure, feature-rich password manager with the option to scale into PAM and secrets management within the same platform, Keeper is well worth considering.

Strengths
Zero-knowledge encryption, with every record encrypted on the user's device
Self-Managed Keeper deployment option for on-premises and air-gapped environments
FedRAMP High Certified and GovRAMP High Authorized, FIPS 140-3 validated, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018 certified
Free Family Plan for every user on Business and Enterprise
Upgrade path into KeeperPAM and Keeper Secrets Manager within the same platform
Cautions
BreachWatch and advanced reporting are paid add-ons
SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning are only available on the Enterprise plan
2.

1Password Business

1Password Business Logo
1Password

Best for Teams wanting a managed password manager with wider access-management products

1Password Business is a popular password manager for teams. It stores passwords in secure vaults, supports two-factor authentication, and syncs passwords across browsers and mobile devices, so employees always have access to them.

1Password hosts all account data in the region you choose: the US, Canada, or the EU. We think it’s a strong option for teams already using SIEM tools and SSO providers that want compliance reporting and security stack integration.

  • Everything in your account is end-to-end encrypted, and the dual-key model combines an account password with a 128-bit Secret Key, so 1Password can’t see what you’ve saved
  • Unlock with SSO works with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Duo, OneLogin, JumpCloud, Ping Identity, and Auth0
  • Automated provisioning, hosted by 1Password, works with Google Workspace, JumpCloud, Entra ID, Okta, and OneLogin
  • Admin policies enforce 2FA with an authenticator app, security key, or Duo, and set password rules, firewall rules, and passkey saving
  • Watchtower is continually updated as breaches are reported, and the Insights dashboard shows compromised, weak, or reused passwords across your organization’s vaults
  • The audit log keeps 365 days of events, and the Events API sends sign-in attempts, item usage, and audit events to SIEMs including Splunk, Datadog, and Microsoft Sentinel
  • Role-based vault sharing, custom groups, and 20 guest accounts are included on Business, and Travel Mode removes vaults from devices except those marked safe for travel
  • 1Password imports Bitwarden encrypted JSON exports, and CSV files in the 1Password apps

1Password’s password vault is very easy to use for end-users, it’s fast and well designed. Historically it’s been very popular with iOS and Mac users.

We are impressed by the compliance reporting capabilities. Audit logs can be exported or streamed directly to SIEM tools for real-time monitoring. 1Password also offers a Slack app that posts alerts and invites, and admins can recover accounts for members who lose access.

1Password Business costs $8.99 per user per month billed annually, or $10.99 billed monthly, and a 14-day free trial is available. The Teams Starter Pack costs $24.95 per month billed annually for 10 members, up to 20 users.

1Password also sells Device Trust, SaaS Manager, and Privileged Access as part of its Extended Access Management suite.

Strengths
End-to-end encryption with a dual-key model
SSO and automated provisioning included in 1Password Business
365-day audit log, with event streaming to major SIEMs
Free 1Password Families membership for every employee
ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, and 27701 certified, and SOC 2 Type 2
14-day free trial
Cautions
Cloud only, with vault data hosted by 1Password
Bitwarden imports skip passkeys and items in shared collections

Dashlane Omnix Password Management

Dashlane Omnix Password Management Logo
Dashlane

Best for Teams that want risky-password and phishing alerts built into their password manager

Dashlane Omnix Password Management is Dashlane’s business password manager. It’s built on zero-knowledge security where the master password is never stored on Dashlane’s servers and all decryption happens locally.

Dashlane combines device-level encryption with cloud secure enclaves, which also run its SSO and SCIM integrations. We think it suits organizations that want a password manager staff find easy to use, with good visibility and controls for admins.

  • Passwords are encrypted and decrypted on each user’s own device (AES-256, with Argon2 key derivation), so only that user can read them
  • Staff can sign in with SAML SSO through Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, JumpCloud, PingID, AD FS, Google Workspace, or Duo, and accounts are created and removed automatically (SCIM) with Entra ID, Okta, JumpCloud, and PingID
  • Passkeys are saved in the vault and synced across devices, and staff can unlock the vault with a passkey or FIDO2 security key instead of a master password
  • Dark Web Monitoring enrolls members’ work email addresses automatically, and the company Password Health score shows admins how secure passwords are on average across the plan
  • When sharing a login, you can choose from four permission levels, including one that lets the other person use the login without seeing the password
  • The Omnix Credential Protection add-on watches for weak, reused, or compromised passwords, including in apps IT doesn’t manage, and warns staff about phishing sites in the browser
  • Dashlane imports Bitwarden CSV exports through the web app or Android app

We rate Dashlane highly for its ease of use combined with enterprise-level security features. Dashlane looks modern and runs quickly, and it’s simple to roll out: staff can start using it within minutes of getting an invite.

If a staff member forgets their master password, an admin can approve a reset, but this doesn’t work for staff who sign in with SSO.

Pricing, billed annually, is $8 per user per month for Omnix Password Management and $4 for Omnix Credential Protection. Omnix Enterprise, which includes both, is priced on request for organizations of 50 or more employees.

With that said, Dashlane is cloud only, and Bitwarden CSV imports work only in the web app or Android app, not on iOS or macOS. Dashlane is well worth considering if you want an easy-to-use password manager with detailed admin reporting, built on zero-knowledge encryption.

Strengths
SSO and SCIM provisioning included in the entry business plan
Passwordless vault login with passkeys or FIDO2 security keys
Dark Web Monitoring for members' work email addresses
ISO 27001 certified
14-day free trial
Cautions
Alerts on risky passwords and phishing cost extra, through the Credential Protection add-on or the Enterprise plan

NordPass Business

NordPass Business Logo
Nord Security

Best for Small and mid-sized teams that want a quick, simple rollout

NordPass Business is made by Nord Security, which also makes NordVPN. We think it suits teams spread across locations that rely on mobile access and want the same experience on every device.

The app runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, with a web vault and browser extensions covering Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari. NordPass uses a zero-knowledge model and sells three business plans: Teams, Business, and Enterprise.

  • NordPass encrypts data locally with XChaCha20 before upload, and Business customers can choose to host their data in US or EU (Frankfurt) AWS data centers
  • SSO with Google Workspace is included from the Teams plan. Enterprise adds SSO with Entra ID, AD FS, and Okta, and automatic user and group setup from Entra ID and Okta
  • To sync groups, you run NordPass’s Encryption Service yourself, in Azure, AWS, or Docker
  • Passkeys work in the mobile app, browser extension, web vault, and desktop app, and you can share them like any other item
  • The Data Breach Scanner checks whether your company’s email domains or passwords have appeared in a data breach, covering 1 domain on Business and up to 10 on Enterprise
  • Admins get a dashboard showing overall password health and how many breaches affect your organization, plus an Activity Log of what members do
  • A built-in authenticator generates TOTP codes, locked behind biometrics
  • NordPass imports Bitwarden exports in CSV or JSON format

We found the vault UI clean and well-organized; finding passwords and sharing with colleagues is very easy.

The built-in authenticator means users don’t need a separate app for 2FA codes. If you have data residency requirements, you can choose EU or US hosting.

Teams is sold in packs of 10 users, while Business and Enterprise need at least 5 users. A 14-day free Business trial is available, with no credit card required. For mobile-first teams, NordPass is well worth considering.

Strengths
Consistent apps across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and the web
Built-in TOTP authenticator alongside passwords
Passkey storage and sharing across every app
Data Breach Scanner checks company email domains against breach data
ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certified
14-day free trial with no credit card required
Cautions
Entra ID and Okta SSO and provisioning require the Enterprise plan
5.

Proton Pass for Business

Proton Pass for Business Logo
Proton

Best for Privacy-focused organizations that still want open-source apps

Proton Pass for Business is a privacy-focused password manager. We think it’s a strong option for SMBs that value data sovereignty and want their credentials managed by a vendor with a clear privacy mission.

Proton describes its approach as “a business model based on privacy, not ads.” Proton Pass is end-to-end encrypted, its apps are open source, and Proton sells it as Pass Essentials and Pass Professional, or as part of the Proton Workspace plans.

  • Vault data is encrypted end to end (256-bit AES-GCM), so only you can read it
  • Every Proton Pass app is open source, and Proton publishes independent security audits, including a 2026 Recurity Labs audit of its browser extensions, mobile and desktop apps, and command-line tool
  • Your data is stored encrypted on Proton’s own servers in Switzerland, Germany, or Norway
  • The Pass Professional plan adds SAML SSO (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, OneLogin), automatic account setup with Okta and Entra ID (SCIM), and audit logs you can send to your SIEM
  • Admins can set rules for generated passwords, limit sharing inside and outside the company, block exports, control who creates vaults, and require 2FA
  • Dark Web Monitoring alerts you to leaked logins, and password health checks highlight weak, reused, and compromised passwords, plus accounts without 2FA turned on
  • Staff can use passkeys on every device, generate 2FA codes in the app, and create unlimited email aliases to hide their real address
  • Proton Pass imports logins and notes from Bitwarden JSON exports

We were impressed by how complete Proton’s business password manager is, given the company’s privacy-first focus.

Admins can onboard and offboard users easily from the admin console, which saves them time. For teams already in the Proton ecosystem, it’s a natural fit.

Billed annually, Pass Essentials costs $1.99 per user per month (for 3 to 30 users) and Pass Professional costs $4.49, with a minimum of 3 users. Proton also sells Pass bundled with Proton Mail and Proton Drive as Proton Workspace Standard, for $12.99 per user per month. A 14-day free trial is available on every business plan.

SSO, SCIM, and detailed activity logs are available on Pass Professional.

Strengths
Open-source apps with published independent security audits
Data stored in Switzerland, Germany, or Norway
Low entry price, from $1.99 per user per month
Dark Web Monitoring included from Pass Essentials
Unlimited hide-my-email aliases
14-day free trial on every business plan
Cautions
SSO and SCIM provisioning require Pass Professional

Passbolt

Passbolt Logo
Passbolt SA

Best for Technical teams that want an open-source password manager built for team sharing

Passbolt is an open-source password manager. It’s built for IT and technical teams that are looking to securely share credentials. It’s built on OpenPGP with end-to-end encryption, and each user’s private key is generated and stored on their device.

You can self-host Passbolt, including in air-gapped environments, or use Passbolt Cloud, which is hosted in Belgium and Germany or, on the Sovereign plan, in a private data center in Luxembourg. The free Community Edition and the paid Pro Edition are both licensed under AGPLv3, and Passbolt says it is “100% open source, even the commercial version.”

Passbolt is used by more than 50,000 organizations.

  • You can share one item, or whole folders and subfolders, with people or groups, and set permissions on each
  • Teams can store and share the TOTP codes for third-party systems alongside the passwords they protect
  • SSO is on the Pro Edition, with Microsoft Entra ID, Google, Okta, AD FS, Keycloak, PingOne, or any OpenID Connect provider
  • Pro also creates and removes accounts automatically (SCIM) with Entra ID and Okta, and syncs users and groups from Active Directory or OpenLDAP
  • On Pro, admins can set rules for generated passwords, password expiry, and MFA, and see changes in an activity log
  • Staff can protect their Passbolt sign-in with an authenticator app, a YubiKey, Duo, or a passkey
  • If you turn it on, Passbolt checks each password against known breaches by sending a hash, not the password itself, to an outside service
  • Apps are available for iOS, Android, and Windows, with extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Brave, and Vivaldi, plus a command-line tool

We think Passbolt is a strong option for teams that want to keep an open-source, self-hosted setup in a product designed around team sharing.

Passbolt suits technical teams more than organizations looking for a consumer-style app for every employee. The self-hosted Community Edition is free for any number of users. Pro is $4.90 per user per month, billed annually, for at least 10 users. If you’re looking for cloud hosting, Passbolt Cloud starts at $5.40 per user per month for at least 10 users, and Enterprise pricing is on request.

If you’re moving from Bitwarden, Passbolt imports your export as a CSV or KDBX file. If you want an open-source password manager you can run on your own infrastructure, Passbolt is well worth considering.

Strengths
Free Community Edition with unlimited users
Self-hosted, air-gapped, or EU-hosted cloud deployment
SOC 2 Type II audited, with independent code audits by Cure53
SCIM provisioning and Active Directory sync on Pro
Cautions
No passkey storage for users' logins yet; it's on the roadmap
Checks passwords against breaches only when they’re entered, with no ongoing monitoring

Psono Password Manager

Psono Password Manager Logo
esaqa GmbH

Best for Teams that want a self-hosted, open-source manager with SAML/OIDC on a small budget

Psono is an open-source password manager. Its core is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, and you can host it on-premises behind your own firewall or use Psono’s SaaS service, which runs on AWS and Google Cloud.

Psono Enterprise Edition adds SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and compliance policies to the open-source Community Edition.

We think it’s a strong option for technical teams that want to self-host an open-source password manager with SSO on a small budget.

  • Psono encrypts vault data in your browser with NaCl authenticated encryption, then adds transport and storage encryption, and users share passwords with other users and groups in encrypted form
  • Enterprise Edition supports SSO through SAML or OIDC identity providers, including Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, AD FS, and Keycloak, plus LDAP and Active Directory integration
  • SCIM user and group management works in combination with SAML on Enterprise Edition
  • Compliance settings let admins enforce 2FA, disable exports and link shares, restrict access by IP address, and set master password length and complexity
  • Security reports check passwords against Have I Been Pwned, sending only part of each password’s hash, and admins can require the check and recurring reports
  • Users store, sync, and share passkeys, generate TOTP codes, and sign in with YubiKey, Duo, WebAuthn, or Google Authenticator
  • Enterprise Edition keeps audit logs, and Psono Gateway launches browser-based SSH, RDP, and VNC sessions from connection entries stored in Psono
  • Apps cover the web, Chrome, Firefox, and Edge, iOS and Android, and Windows, macOS, and Linux desktops, and Psono imports Bitwarden JSON exports

Psono is worth a look if you run Bitwarden on your own servers and want another self-hosted, open-source option that includes SAML and OIDC sign-in.

Psono offers all Enterprise Edition features free for up to 10 users, which makes it easy to trial with a small team. X41 D-Sec audited the Psono server, web client, and mobile apps in 2024.

Psono doesn’t publish a price above 10 users, so larger teams will need a quote.

Strengths
Open-source core under the Apache 2.0 license
Self-hosted or SaaS deployment
All Enterprise Edition features free for up to 10 users
Independent security audit by X41 D-Sec
Passkey storage and sharing
Cautions
No published price above 10 users

Devolutions Password Manager

Devolutions Password Manager Logo
Devolutions

Best for IT teams that want cloud or self-hosted vaults alongside Devolutions' remote access tools

Devolutions Password Manager is a team password manager from Devolutions, the company behind Remote Desktop Manager.

Devolutions offers flexible storage options for where password data is stored. Devolutions Cloud is run for you by Devolutions on Microsoft Azure, with data held in the US, France, Canada, or Australia. Devolutions Server is installed on your own infrastructure. Staff use the same apps either way, on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and in major browsers.

Employees can easily sign in with Microsoft Entra ID or Okta. Devolutions Cloud syncs users and groups from Entra ID, and Devolutions Server integrates with Active Directory. Admins can push settings out through Group Policy and block passwords that already appear in known breach lists, using a built-in Have I Been Pwned check. The vault also stores passkeys and one-time codes.

Devolutions also sells remote access and privileged access management on the same platform, so IT teams can add those later without changing vendors. Pricing starts at $48 per user per year.

  • Devolutions Cloud uses zero-knowledge encryption, with Microsoft Transparent Data Encryption protecting data at rest
  • Devolutions Cloud supports SSO and MFA with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and other providers, and Entra ID provisioning syncs user groups automatically
  • Devolutions Server integrates with Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID
  • Audit logs and centralized governance are included, and Group Policy enforces configuration and security settings in the desktop app and browser extension
  • Admins can set forbidden-password rules, with a Have I Been Pwned integration that checks whether a password already appears in known lists
  • The browser extension saves passkeys to Devolutions Cloud or Devolutions Server and uses them to sign in
  • OTP secrets can be stored in vaults separate from the credentials they protect, and the browser extension connects to Remote Desktop Manager to reach vault credentials
  • Devolutions imports Bitwarden exports into Devolutions Cloud as JSON or CSV files

Devolutions is a secure, centralized password manager which allows your team to access their passwords securely on any device with strong security policies.

Devolutions also offers remote access and privileged access management as larger packages on the same platform. If your IT team uses Devolutions’ Remote Desktop Manager, the password manager’s browser extension connects directly to it and it’s a natural fit to use this solution.

The workforce password management component costs $48 per user per year, billed annually, and covers Password Manager, Devolutions Cloud, and Devolutions Server.

The remote access, remote desktop and IT operations, and privileged access packages cost $265, $400, and $650 per user per year, and each includes the one before it. Teams of five users or fewer get a half-price Starter Pack, and every package offers a 14-day free trial.

Strengths
Choice of Devolutions Cloud or self-hosted Devolutions Server
Published pricing, from $48 per user per year
SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified infrastructure
Upgrade path into remote access and privileged access management
14-day free trial on every package

Zoho Vault

Zoho Vault Logo
Zoho Corporation

Best for Organizations already using Zoho apps that want low entry pricing

Zoho provides software to more than 100 million users worldwide, and Zoho Vault is its cloud-based password manager, with user management, permissions, and password policies for sharing passwords safely between team members.

Zoho Vault holds passwords, passkeys, API keys, SSH keys, certificates, payment cards, and secure notes. Zoho runs it from data centers in the US, EU, India, Australia, Canada, China, and the UAE. Zoho One includes the Zoho Vault Enterprise Edition.

This solution is a strong choice for teams already using Zoho products who want to add credential management.

  • Folders and subfolders organize your credentials, and role-based permissions set whether each user can view, edit, or manage a password
  • Staff can be required to request access to sensitive passwords, and admins can approve it for a set length of time
  • Admins can use ready-made or custom password rules, limit access by IP address or location, and keep an emergency (break-glass) account
  • Every edition has a Security Dashboard showing reused, weak, and easy-to-guess passwords, and Professional adds alerts when a password turns up in a known breach
  • On Professional and Enterprise, users and groups sync from Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, and Enterprise can also act as the single sign-on provider for your other cloud apps
  • Real-time audit trails track activity, and SIEM integration forwards audit logs to tools including Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps, and Graylog
  • There are apps for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Apple Watch, plus extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and other browsers
  • Zoho Vault imports Bitwarden JSON exports

We think Zoho Vault is a strong option for organizations looking for a cost-effective password manager with a lot of enterprise features. Zoho Vault Enterprise is included in Zoho One, Zoho’s bundle of more than 45 business apps, so it’s well worth considering if you’re already a Zoho customer.

Standard costs $1 per user per month, Professional $5, and Enterprise $8, with a five-user minimum on Professional and Enterprise, and there’s a free plan for personal use.

Zoho Vault only runs in Zoho’s cloud. For an on-premises option, Zoho suggests ManageEngine Password Manager Pro, which is a separate product.

Strengths
Published pricing from $1 per user per month
Zoho Vault Enterprise included with Zoho One
Direct import of Bitwarden JSON exports
Runs on a zero-knowledge, SOC 2-certified platform
Cautions
Cloud-only, with no on-premises deployment

Enpass Business

Enpass Business Logo
Enpass Technologies Inc.

Best for Organizations that want vault data in their own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant without running a server

Enpass Business is a password manager that stores each organization’s encrypted vaults in its own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant which keeps you in control of your own password data.

On Microsoft 365, personal vaults are kept in OneDrive and shared vaults in SharePoint. On Google Workspace, vaults sync through Google Drive. Enpass itself doesn’t store customer vaults on its servers.

Vaults are encrypted with AES-256 on each user’s device, and Enpass can’t read them.

  • From the Admin Console, admins set rules for security, password strength, and sharing, and can send event logs to their SIEM
  • If a user forgets their master password, admins can help them get back into their vault from the Admin Console
  • User provisioning works over SCIM 2.0 with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, JumpCloud, Ping Identity, and other SCIM 2.0 identity providers, and offboarding revokes access automatically
  • Admins sign in to the Admin Console with SAML SSO through Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, or any other SAML provider
  • A security dashboard scores each vault and the whole organization, flags reused, weak, and expired passwords, and checks for compromised passwords using Have I Been Pwned
  • Staff can store passkeys and generate 2FA codes, and keep as many vaults as they need for work, personal, and shared items
  • Apps run on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with browser extensions and settings for rolling it out through your device management (UEM/MDM) tool
  • Enpass imports Bitwarden exports saved as unencrypted JSON or CSV files, although passkeys can’t be transferred

We think it’s a strong option for teams that want to own their vault data, without running and updating a server.

The Business plan costs $1.99 per user per month, billed yearly, and larger enterprises can contact Enpass for volume, multi-year, and site-based pricing. A free trial is also available.

If your priority is keeping vault data inside your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant at a low per-user cost, Enpass Business is well worth considering.

Strengths
Vaults are stored in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant
No vault servers to host or maintain
Published Business price of $1.99 per user per month
ISO 27001:2022 certified and SOC 2 Type II audited
Cautions
SSO is documented for Admin Console sign-in only

Password Manager: Buying Checklist

These are the evaluation steps we recommend when selecting a Bitwarden alternative.

Business password managers run in the vendor's cloud, on a server you host yourself, or with vaults stored in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant. Self-hosting keeps the data on your infrastructure, but your team installs updates and keeps the server running.

Import support varies: some products accept Bitwarden's JSON export, others only CSV. Run a test import to see how Bitwarden collections map to the new product's shared folders or vaults before moving everyone.

Not every business password manager stores passkeys yet, so confirm support if your staff use them. Some products don't bring passkeys across from a Bitwarden export, so plan how staff will replace them.

Minimum seat counts, annual billing and paid add-ons such as breach monitoring or advanced reporting all change the price per user. A free self-hosted edition still carries the cost of running and maintaining the server.

Because the vault is encrypted with each user's master password, the vendor can't reset it. Check whether admins can recover a user's account, which plan includes that, and how it works, before you roll out.

Watch for logins being passed around in spreadsheets, chat, or email, and team accounts that nobody owns. Pick a tool with shared folders and role-based permissions, so people only see the logins their job needs.

Check whether admins can require strong master passwords, set rules for generated passwords, and make two-factor authentication mandatory, and which plan includes these.

Look for SSO with your identity provider and automatic user provisioning (SCIM or directory sync), so new starters get access straight away and leavers lose it as soon as they're removed.

The tool should point out weak, reused, and exposed passwords across the whole organization. Some tools only check when someone runs a report, while others warn you as soon as a password shows up in new breach data.

Audit logs should show who created, changed, shared, and viewed each login. If your security team uses a SIEM, check that the logs can be sent to it.

Vault data should be encrypted on each user's device so the vendor can't read it. Ask for recent independent audits and certifications such as SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001. If you want to inspect the code, check whether it's open source.

Check support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and your browsers. Autofill should confirm the website’s address before entering a password, so staff don’t hand their login to a fake site.

The Bottom Line

A business password manager has four main jobs: to stop staff reusing weak passwords, to give teams a safe way to share logins, to let IT enforce security rules, and to show who accessed what.

When looking at solutions, we recommend starting by listing what your teams need: how they share passwords today, which policies IT needs to enforce, which identity provider you use, and what audit trail your compliance requirements call for. Then check which plan of each product covers those needs, not just which product does, whether that’s for Bitwarden, or an alternative.

Finally, decide where the password manager should run: in the vendor’s cloud, on your own servers, or in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant. Run a test migration with one team before you move everyone.

Everything You Need To Know About Alternatives To Bitwarden (FAQs)

Every product in this list documents a Bitwarden import, but accepted files differ:

1Password doesn’t import passkeys or items in shared collections, and Enpass can’t transfer passkeys. On Enterprise, check whether the “Remove export” policy blocks members from exporting. Unencrypted exports hold passwords in plain text, so delete the file after importing. Finally, map Bitwarden collections (being renamed “Shared folders” for cloud customers from November 2026) to the new tool’s sharing model.

  • JSON: Proton Pass for Business, Psono Enterprise Edition and Zoho Vault
  • CSV: Keeper Security and Dashlane Omnix Password Management
  • JSON or CSV: NordPass Business, Devolutions Password Manager and Enpass Business
  • CSV or KDBX: Passbolt
  • Encrypted JSON, or CSV in the 1Password apps: 1Password Business

The password manager encrypts data on your device before it syncs, and only the user holds the key to decrypt it. The vendor stores ciphertext it can’t read, so data taken from its servers is unreadable without the key.

Implementations differ. Keeper Security gives each record its own AES-256 key, generated on the device. 1Password combines the account password with a 128-bit Secret Key, so 1Password can’t see saved items. Zoho Vault uses AES-256, and Enpass Business uses AES-256 with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512 key derivation at 320,000 iterations. Passbolt uses OpenPGP, and Psono encrypts vault data in the browser using NaCl.

Almost all do. Passkeys are FIDO-based credentials that replace a password with a key pair, so there is nothing for an attacker to phish.

Every product in this list except Passbolt stores passkeys, and Passbolt lists passkey storage on its roadmap. Keeper Security, NordPass Business, and Psono Enterprise Edition let users share passkeys. Devolutions Password Manager saves passkeys to Devolutions Cloud or Devolutions Server. Dashlane supports passwordless vault login with a passkey or FIDO2 key, and Passbolt added passkey multi-factor authentication in 2026.

A password manager covers everyday credentials for the whole workforce. Privileged Access Management (PAM) protects the high-risk accounts that administrators use on servers, databases and cloud infrastructure, adding controls such as just-in-time access, credential rotation and session recording.

Several vendors in this list sell both. Keeper Security offers KeeperPAM for servers, web apps, databases, and workloads. 1Password’s platform also includes Privileged Access, and Devolutions sells a privileged access management package on the same platform as Devolutions Password Manager. See our guide to the best PAM solutions for enterprise.

Starting prices, billed annually:

Zoho Vault starts from $1 per user, per month (Standard). Psono Enterprise Edition is free for up to 10 users, with pricing on request above that. NordPass Business provides pricing on request.
