The best alternatives to 1Password provide your organization with encrypted vaults, secure credential sharing, and centralized admin control. Some platforms may allow self-hosting, may be open-source, or have deals like lower per-user pricing for large organizations.
1Password is built to store users’ passwords securely. It uses a 128-bit Secret Key, provides developer tooling, and can sync users from five identity platforms. However, the platform is cloud only, which might not suit all use cases. Additionally, features like Privileged Access, Device Trust, and SaaS Manager are sold separately.
In this article, we’ve assessed the top password managers that may be an alternative to 1Password. We’ve assessed cloud, self-hosted, and hybrid options, comparing SSO and provisioning support, admin policy controls, encryption architecture, compliance certifications, and pricing.
What is a Business Password Manager?
A business password manager stores, generates, fills, and shares passwords for everyone in your organization. Each employee gets an encrypted vault in place of spreadsheets, shared documents or reused passwords, and teams share logins through shared folders instead of sending passwords over chat or email. An admin console lets IT teams add and remove users, set password policies, highlight weak or reused passwords across the company, and cut off access when someone leaves.
Organizations that use or are evaluating 1Password compare alternatives for practical reasons: where vault data is hosted and whether they can host it themselves, whether the code is open source, licensing and per-seat cost, how much control admins get, and how well the tool fits their existing directory.
Business password managers encrypt vault data on the user's device before it syncs, so the vendor stores only encrypted data and can't read it. Vendors call this zero-knowledge or end-to-end encryption. The decryption key usually comes from the user's master password through a key derivation function. Shared folders carry their own permissions, so admins control who can view, edit, or reshare each credential. Single Sign-On (SSO) lets staff sign in through the company's identity provider, and SCIM provisioning creates and removes accounts as people join and leave the directory. Most tools also store passkeys, the phishing-resistant sign-in credentials based on FIDO standards, alongside passwords, keep audit logs of vault activity, and check stored credentials against known breach data.
Deployment models vary. Most products run in the vendor's cloud, often with a choice of data region. Some can be self-hosted on your own servers, some store encrypted vaults in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, and some keep vault data on users' devices. Check the deployment model and data location first, then licensing, admin controls and directory integration.

How We Tested
We evaluated 10 business password managers as alternatives to 1Password, testing vault setup, credential sharing, admin policy controls, SSO, and directory provisioning, and importing 1Password data in hands-on deployments. We also compared each product’s deployment model (vendor-hosted cloud, self-hosted, or vaults stored in the customer’s own cloud account), whether its code is open source, where vault data is hosted, and published per-user pricing. This article was researched and written by Alex Zawalynski, with technical review by Craig MacAlpine. Read our full methodology
Keeper Security
Keeper Security
Best for enterprise password and privileged access management
Keeper Security is a password and privileged access management platform, built on zero-knowledge architecture. The platform offers employees an encrypted vault with shared folders and RBAC, and lets you delegate admin access to regional or departmental admins. Every record is encrypted with a unique AES-256-GCM key, while master password key derivation uses PBKDF2 at 1 million iterations.
Keeper also offers BreachWatch to monitor dark web sources, which alerts you to exposed employee credentials. Keeper’s Advanced Reporting & Alerts feature works alongside BreachWatch, capturing more than 300 event types and passing them to your SIEM.
Keeper also sells a PAM solution, KeeperPAM, that adds session recording, password rotation, remote browser isolation and endpoint privilege management, which is all managed in the same admin platform.
Customer data is hosted within AWS regions across the US, EU, Canada, Australia, and Japan, with a separate US Government region hosted in AWS GovCloud.
- SSO Connect supports SAML 2.0 single sign-on with Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, Ping, and AD FS
- On the Enterprise plan, SCIM, Active Directory, LDAP, and just-in-time SSO provisioning keep user accounts in sync with your directory
- Advanced Reporting & Alerts records more than 300 event types and sends them to SIEMs including Splunk, Datadog, and Microsoft Sentinel
- Keeper Secrets Manager adds cloud-based secrets management as an add-on
- KeeperPAM adds session management and endpoint privileged management; Keeper Connection Manager provides self-hosted remote access, and the KeeperPAM Gateway needs only an outbound connection
- Keeper holds FedRAMP High Certification, GovRAMP High Authorization, FIPS 140-3 validation, SOC 2 Type II, and ISO 27001
We think that Keeper is a strong option for organizations that want deep security controls in a user-friendly vault, with privileged access management available as an upgrade within the same platform.
We were impressed by the depth of admin controls and the quality of the user experience. The admin console is fast and responsive, with granular security policies and a search tool for finding settings quickly.
If you’re moving from 1Password, Keeper imports your 1PUX or CSV export, and Self-Managed Keeper lets you host Keeper in your own environment. Business Starter costs $2 per user per month for teams of 5 to 10 users, Business costs $4, and Enterprise costs $6, all billed annually; KeeperPAM and Self-Managed Keeper are priced on quote.

Bitwarden
Bitwarden
Best for Teams wanting open-source code and a self-hosting option
Bitwarden is an open-source password manager used by more than 15 million people and over 80,000 businesses. We think it’s a strong option for security-conscious technical teams that value transparency.
The source code is public and third-party audited, which matters for security teams that need to verify what they’re deploying.
Cloud customers can choose US or EU data storage, and the Enterprise plan lets you self-host Bitwarden if you want passwords on your own infrastructure.
- Vault data is encrypted on your device with AES-256 under a zero-knowledge model, with PBKDF2 SHA-256 or Argon2 key derivation
- All of Bitwarden’s source code is hosted on GitHub for anyone to review, and Bitwarden completes annual source code audits and penetration tests for each client
- Enterprise customers can self-host the Bitwarden server with Docker on Linux or Windows, or with Helm on Kubernetes
- SCIM provisioning works with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, JumpCloud, and Ping Identity, and Directory Connector syncs users and groups from LDAP or Active Directory
- The Enterprise plan adds SSO with any SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect identity provider, plus policies covering master password strength, two-step login, and vault exports
- Passkeys can be stored and used through the browser extension and mobile apps on every plan
- Access Intelligence, on the Enterprise plan, identifies credential risks and sends alerts to end users, and the Data Breach report checks accounts against Have I Been Pwned
- Bitwarden imports 1Password .1pux, .1pif, and .csv files directly into your organization’s vault
Teams pricing starts at $4 per user per month, with Enterprise at $6 per user per month, both billed annually. If your team wants a sleek consumer-style experience, evaluate alternatives.
For technical teams that value open-source auditability and self-hosting options, Bitwarden is well worth considering.

Dashlane Omnix Password Management
Dashlane
Best for Organizations wanting credential risk detection alongside the vault
Dashlane Omnix Password Management is Dashlane’s business password manager, 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’s a strong option for organizations that want a modern, easy-to-use vault with strong admin visibility and security controls.
- Dashlane encrypts and decrypts vault data on each user’s device with AES-256 and Argon2 key derivation, so only the user can decrypt it
- SAML 2.0 SSO works with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, JumpCloud, PingID, AD FS, Google Workspace, and Duo, with SCIM provisioning for Entra ID, Okta, JumpCloud, and PingID
- Users store passkeys in the vault and sync them across devices, and can log in to the vault with a passkey or FIDO2 security key in place of a master password
- Dark Web Monitoring enrolls members’ work email addresses automatically, and the company Password Health score shows admins how strong passwords are on average across the plan
- Sharing offers four permission levels, including an autofill-only option where the recipient can use a login without seeing the password
- Omnix Credential Protection monitors for weak, reused, or compromised credentials across managed and unmanaged apps, and alerts users to phishing risks in the browser
- Dashlane imports 1Password CSV exports through the web app or Android app
We were impressed by the ease of use and enterprise security features here. The interface is modern and fast, and deployment is straightforward; users can be up and running within minutes of receiving an invite.
Admin-assisted recovery lets admins approve a member’s request to reset a forgotten master password, although it isn’t available to members who sign in with SSO.
Omnix Password Management costs $8 per user per month and Omnix Credential Protection costs $4, both billed annually, while Omnix Enterprise combines both plans with custom pricing for organizations of 50 employees or more.
If you need a secure, intuitive password manager with strong admin reporting and zero-knowledge architecture, Dashlane is well worth considering.

NordPass Business
Nord Security
Best for Small and mid-sized teams wanting a simple rollout
NordPass Business is a password manager from Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN. We think it’s a strong option for distributed teams that need mobile access and a consistent cross-platform experience.
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 offers three business plans: Teams, Business, and Enterprise.
- NordPass encrypts data locally with XChaCha20 before upload, and stores customer vault items in separate AWS data centers in the US and EU
- The Teams plan includes SSO with Google Workspace, and Enterprise adds SSO with Entra ID, AD FS, and Okta, plus user and group provisioning with Entra ID and Okta
- Group provisioning uses an Encryption Service that you deploy in your own Azure, AWS, or Docker environment
- Passkeys can be saved and used in the mobile app, browser extension, web vault, and desktop app, and shared like any other vault item
- The Data Breach Scanner checks whether your company’s email domains or passwords have appeared in a data breach
- The admin dashboard shows overall password health and the number of breaches in your organization, and the Activity Log records actions members take
- A built-in authenticator generates TOTP codes, locked behind biometrics
- NordPass imports 1Password exports in 1PUX or CSV format
We found the vault UI clean and well-organized; finding passwords and sharing with colleagues takes seconds. The built-in authenticator is helpful, as users don’t need a separate authenticator app. If data residency matters to your organization, check which region your vault data will be stored in before you buy.
The Teams plan is sold as a 10-user pack, and the Business and Enterprise plans have a 5-user minimum. A 14-day free Business trial is also available. For mobile-first teams, NordPass is well worth considering.

Proton Pass for Business
Proton
Best for Privacy-focused organizations wanting a low entry price
Proton Pass for Business is a privacy-focused password manager from the Swiss company behind Proton Mail. We think it’s a strong option for SMBs that want to keep control over their password data sovereignty and want their credentials managed by a vendor with a clear privacy mission.
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 end-to-end encrypted with 256-bit AES-GCM, so only you can decrypt it
- All Proton Pass apps are open source, and Proton publishes its independent security audits, including a 2026 audit by Recurity Labs of the extensions, mobile and desktop apps, and CLI
- Proton stores data in encrypted form on its own servers in Switzerland, Germany, or Norway
- Pass Professional adds SAML 2.0 SSO with Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and OneLogin, SCIM provisioning with Okta and Entra ID, and audit log export to your SIEM
- Admin policies set password generator rules, control item and external sharing, exports, and vault creation, and enforce 2FA
- Dark Web Monitoring watches for leaked credentials, and password health checks flag weak and reused passwords, compromised passwords, and inactive 2FA
- Users get passkey support on all devices, a built-in 2FA authenticator, and unlimited hide-my-email aliases
- Proton Pass imports 1Password exports in 1PUX and 1PIF format
Proton’s admin console makes onboarding and offboarding easy, which is a practical touch that saves admin time.
For teams already in the Proton ecosystem, it’s a natural fit. It also supports SSO, SCIM, and detailed activity logs on the Pass Professional plan.
Pass Essentials costs $1.99 per user per month for teams of 3 to 30 users, and Pass Professional costs $4.49, both billed annually with a 3-user minimum.
Proton Workspace Standard, at $12.99 per user per month, bundles Pass with Proton Mail and Proton Drive. A 14-day free trial is available on every business plan.

RoboForm for Business
Siber Systems
Best for Budget-conscious SMBs that also need form filling
RoboForm for Business is a password manager that logs your employees in to websites and fills online forms with a single click.
Users can keep work and personal passwords in separate vaults, and admins can share credentials using role-based access control and granular sharing permissions. There’s a central admin console for managing onboarding, security policies, reporting, and audits.
RoboForm is cloud-based, and the Enterprise plan adds a self-hosting model for environments of 1,000 or more users.
We think it’s a strong choice for admins who need granular controls in a tool employees find easy to adopt.
- Admins can require 2FA, strong password rules, and access restrictions, and can raise the master password requirement above RoboForm’s 12-character baseline
- SSO works with Microsoft Entra, Okta, Google Workspace, Ping, and OneLogin, and SCIM provisioning with Okta, Entra, and OneLogin is included in every Business license
- The Security Center flags weak, reused, and breached passwords, and dark web monitoring alerts you when passwords or corporate emails linked to your accounts appear in breach databases
- Passkeys saved in RoboForm work on every device where it’s installed, and a built-in TOTP authenticator generates your 2FA codes
- Admins can disable emergency access, which otherwise lets a user’s nominated contact into their vault after a set waiting period
- Apps cover Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, alongside standalone browser extensions
- Data is encrypted with AES-256 and PBKDF2 SHA-256, and all decryption happens on your device
We found the policy controls useful; complexity rules and emergency access are configurable without excessive admin overhead.
The interface looks like Windows File Explorer, which speeds up adoption for users who don’t want to learn a new system.
RoboForm for Business costs $3.33 per user per month, billed annually, and Enterprise is priced on request.
For organizations prioritizing compliance and user familiarity, RoboForm for Business is well worth considering.

Zoho Corporation
Best for Organizations already using Zoho apps; tiered pricing from $1
Zoho Vault is a cloud its cloud-based password manager, with user management, permissions, and password policies for sharing passwords safely between team members.
Zoho Vault stores passwords, passkeys, API keys, SSH keys, certificates, payment cards, and secure notes, and runs in Zoho data centers in the US, EU, India, Australia, Canada, China, and the UAE.
- You can organize credentials in folders and subfolders, and role-based permissions set whether each user can view, edit, or manage a password
- A password request-release workflow and time-limited access let admins grant access to sensitive passwords for a set period
- Admins can apply pre-built or custom password policies, restrict access by IP address or geolocation, and set up a break-glass account for emergency access
- The Security Dashboard, included in every edition, highlights reused, weak, and easily guessed passwords, and Professional adds alerts for passwords found in known breaches
- Zoho Vault syncs users and groups from Okta and Microsoft Entra ID on Professional and Enterprise, and Enterprise can act as the SSO identity provider for your cloud apps
- Zoho Vault records activity in real-time audit trails, and SIEM integration forwards audit logs to tools including Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps, and Graylog
- Apps cover Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Apple Watch, with browser extensions for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and other browsers
- Zoho Vault imports 1Password 1PUX exports, along with older 1Password TXT and CSV formats
We think Zoho Vault is a strong option for organizations looking for a cost effective password manager with strong admin and management features and real-time audit trails.
Zoho Vault is cloud-only, and Zoho points organizations that want an on-premises deployment to ManageEngine Password Manager Pro, a separate product.
Pricing is very competitive, with plans starting at $1 per user per month. The mid-tier Professional plan is $5, and Enterprise $8. there’s a free plan for personal use.
If you’re on Zoho One, Vault Enterprise comes included, which makes Zoho Vault well worth considering for existing Zoho customers.

Passbolt SA
Best for Technical teams that want to self-host an open-source password manager
Passbolt is an open-source password manager, built for IT and technical teams that share credentials. It’s used by more than 50,000 organizations use it.
Passbolt is built on OpenPGP with end-to-end encryption, and each user’s private key is generated and stored on their device.
ou can self-host Passbolt, including in air-gapped environments, or use Passbolt Cloud, 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,
- Users share single items or whole folders and subfolders with individuals or groups, with granular permissions on each
- Teams can store and share the TOTP codes for third-party systems alongside the passwords for those systems
- The Pro Edition supports SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, Google, Okta, AD FS, Keycloak, PingOne, and generic OpenID Connect providers
- Pro adds SCIM provisioning with Entra ID and Okta, and LDAP sync with Active Directory and OpenLDAP for users, groups, and memberships
- Admins on Pro can set password generator, password expiry, and MFA policies, and review changes in an activity log
- Users sign in to Passbolt with MFA through TOTP, YubiKey, Duo, or a passkey
- An optional breached-password check sends a hash of each password, never the password itself, to an external service to see whether it appears in known breaches
- Apps cover iOS, Android, and Windows, with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, Brave, and Vivaldi, plus a CLI
Passbolt is a strong choice for security-conscious IT teams. It uses OpenPGP encryption, lets users bring their own PGP keys, and includes a command-line tool. We e think it suits technical teams that want full control over how their passwords are encrypted and hosted.
The Community Edition is free with unlimited users, and Pro costs $4.90 per user per month, billed annually, with a 10-user minimum. Passbolt Cloud starts at $5.40 per user per month with a 10-user minimum, and the Enterprise editions are priced on request.
If you are looking for an open-source password manager you can run on your own infrastructure, Passbolt is well worth considering.

Enpass Business
Enpass Technologies Inc.
Best for Organizations that want vault data kept in their own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant
Enpass Business is a password manager that stores each organization’s encrypted vaults in its own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant.
With Microsoft 365, personal vaults are stored in OneDrive and shared vaults in SharePoint; with Google Workspace, vaults sync through Google Drive. Enpass doesn’t keep a central repository of customer vaults on its servers.
Vaults are encrypted on the user’s device with AES-256, using a zero-knowledge design.
We think Enpass is a good choice for teams that want vault data to stay inside the Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant they already govern, without running their own server.
- The Admin Console sets rules for security, password strength, and vault sharing, and records event logs you can send to your SIEM
- Access recovery in the Admin Console helps users who have lost their master password regain access to their vaults
- User provisioning works over SCIM 2.0 with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, OneLogin, JumpCloud, Ping Identity, and other SCIM 2.0 identity providers, and Enpass revokes access automatically when users are offboarded
- Admins sign in to the Admin Console with SAML 2.0 SSO through Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta, or any SAML identity provider
- The security audit dashboard scores each vault and the organization, flags reused, weak, and expired passwords, and checks for compromised passwords through Have I Been Pwned
- Users store passkeys and generate TOTP codes in Enpass, with unlimited vaults for business, personal, and shared data
- Apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with browser extensions and UEM/MDM configurations for deployment
- Enpass imports 1Password data from 1PUX exports, or from 1PIF files if you use 1Password 7
Enpass takes a different approach from the other products in this guide: it doesn’t host your vaults. Encrypted vaults are stored in your own Microsoft 365 (OneDrive and SharePoint) or Google Workspace (Google Drive) tenant, so your data stays in an environment you already manage, and there’s no server for your team to run.
Admins still get a console with password policies, event logs, SIEM integration, SCIM provisioning, and a way to help users who lose their master password. At $1.99 per user per month, billed yearly, it’s also among the lowest-priced options here.
Enpass documents SSO for the admin console but not for unlocking vaults, so check how your staff will sign in before you roll it out. If you want to keep password data inside your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant at a low cost, Enpass Business is well worth considering.

Uniqkey
Uniqkey
Best for European businesses wanting EU-hosted password and access management
Uniqkey is a password and access management platform built for European organizations that want control over where their data is stored.
Uniqkey encrypts each user’s passwords and stores them locally on their device, with encrypted company data held in the Admin Portal for backup, and all data is stored and processed within the EU.
Uniqkey is sold as one bundle of UniqPass, the password manager, and UniqAccess, the access manager. Shadow IT and shadow AI detection is also available as a separate product, Discovery.
We think it’s a strong fit for EU-based businesses that prioritize data sovereignty, especially for teams interested in these additional features.
- Zero-knowledge, end-to-end encryption uses AES-256 and SHA-3 standards, and your encryption keys never leave your devices
- Work and personal credentials are stored in separate encrypted vaults, and users store passkeys alongside passwords and shared logins
- The browser extension autofills 2FA/TOTP codes along with usernames and passwords
- Admins share logins with optional time limits, and a limited permission gives access to a login without the ability to view, copy, or edit it
- Access restrictions control when, where, and from which IP addresses critical accounts can be used, such as during working hours only
- SCIM 2.0 syncs identities from Microsoft Entra ID every 45 minutes, and Entra ID SSO is available for employees who don’t use a phone with Uniqkey
- Breach monitoring, included in the Uniqkey plan, checks employee logins against known breach databases and flags any that appear
- Apps cover iOS, Android, and Windows, with extensions for Chrome, Edge, and Safari, and the mobile app keeps your data available if Uniqkey’s servers are offline
We were impressed by the time-based, location-based, and IP-based access restrictions, which give admins granular control over when and where critical accounts are used.
The local storage model also stands out for organizations concerned about cloud-based credential breaches. Uniqkey’s documented directory integration is SCIM with Microsoft Entra ID, so check that your identity provider is supported before you buy.
A free trial is available, and Discovery is priced separately per organization. If you’re moving from 1Password, export your logins to CSV and import them through the Uniqkey extension, or ask Uniqkey to help during setup.
For European teams prioritizing data sovereignty, Uniqkey is a good password manager option and well worth a look.

Choosing A Password Manager Checklist
These are the evaluation steps we recommend when selecting a 1Password alternative.
Business password managers keep vaults in the vendor's cloud, sometimes with a choice of region, on a server you host yourself, or in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant. Some vendors sell self-hosting only on their top plan or above a minimum user count, so check the plan as well as the product.
The vault should be encrypted on each user's device before it syncs, so the vendor can't read your credentials. Ask for current third-party audit reports and certifications such as SOC 2 Type II or ISO 27001, and check when they were issued.
SCIM provisioning with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace creates and removes accounts as staff join and leave. Check what single sign-on covers, since some products use it only for admin console sign-in, and confirm the plan you're pricing includes both.
Check which rules admins can enforce, such as master password strength, two-step login, and blocks on vault exports. Look for audit logs that show who accessed or shared each item, and SIEM integration if your security team monitors events centrally.
Confirm the alternative can store passkeys, and share them if your teams need that, since not every business password manager stores passkeys yet. If staff already keep passkeys in 1Password, plan the move: 1Password currently exports passkeys only from its iOS and Android apps.
Compare the plan that includes every feature you need, not the entry price. Minimum seat counts, annual billing, and paid add-ons such as breach monitoring or advanced reporting all change the total.
Look for logins shared in spreadsheets, chat, or email, and shared team accounts with no clear owner. Choose a tool with shared folders and role-based permissions, so each person sees only the logins they need.
Check that the tool flags weak, reused, and exposed passwords across the organization. Some only check when someone runs a report; others alert you as soon as a password appears in new breach data.
Check support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and your browsers. Autofill should check the website's address before filling in a password, which helps protect staff from phishing sites.
The vendor can't reset a forgotten master password, so check whether admins can recover accounts, and on which plan. Then import one team's vault from 1Password to see how your shared vaults carry over before moving everyone.
The Bottom Line
Whichever product you choose, employees have to find it easy to use, or they’ll go back to saving passwords in browsers and spreadsheets.
Then work out why you’re looking beyond 1Password. If you need vault data on your own servers or in code your team can audit, look at the self-hosted and open-source products.
If you only need control over where data is stored, a cloud service with a choice of region, or a product that keeps vaults in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, can do that without running a server.
Otherwise, compare SSO, SCIM, admin policies, and breach monitoring on the plan you’d actually buy, including anything 1Password sells separately that you need.
If you’re using 1Password at the moment, plan the switch. 1Password exports to 1PUX or CSV, but its CSV export covers only logins and passwords. Check whether the alternative imports 1PUX files and how shared vaults and permissions carry over, then run a test migration with one team before you move everyone.
Everything You Need To Know About Alternatives To 1Password (FAQs)
Yes. 1Password’s self-hosted Connect server gives applications access to secrets stored in 1Password, but it doesn’t host the vault. These products can be self-hosted:
Enpass Business stores encrypted vaults in your own Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace account, and Enpass keeps no central copy of customer vaults. Uniqkey stores encrypted passwords locally on each user’s device and runs its service in Europe.
- Bitwarden: Enterprise customers can run the Bitwarden server using Docker on Linux or Windows, or Helm on Kubernetes.
- Passbolt: the free Community Edition and paid Pro and Enterprise editions run on your own server, including air-gapped environments. Passbolt also sells Passbolt Cloud, hosted in Europe.
- Keeper Security: Self-Managed Keeper runs as containers on-premises, in a private cloud or on an air-gapped network.
- RoboForm for Business: the Enterprise plan offers self-hosting for 1,000 or more users.
Yes. Three products in this list are open source:
Dashlane publishes the code of its Android, iOS and web extension apps under a non-commercial license (CC BY-NC 4.0), but doesn’t describe it as open source.
- Bitwarden publishes its code on GitHub, with annual source code audits and penetration tests for each app.
- Passbolt releases its Community and Pro editions under the AGPLv3 license, and says it is 100% open source, including the commercial version.
- Proton Pass for Business makes all Proton Pass apps open source.
Export from 1Password, import into the new tool, then check that shared vaults, permissions and attachments came across. 1Password 8 for Mac, Windows, and Linux exports to 1PUX (1Password Unencrypted Export), which keeps more fields and item types, or to CSV, which covers only Login and Password items, with limited fields.
Keeper Commander’s 1Password import lets you set default folder permissions, and Bitwarden can import straight into an organization’s vault.
- Export files are plaintext: keep the file on a secure device and delete it after the import.
- Permissions can block exports: in team accounts, some vaults may not grant the “Export items” permission.
- Passkeys: 1Password exports these only from its iOS and Android apps, via the Credential Exchange standard.
- Import formats: Keeper Security, Bitwarden, NordPass Business, Proton Pass for Business, Zoho Vault and Enpass Business document 1PUX imports. Dashlane Omnix Password Management, RoboForm for Business, Passbolt, and Uniqkey document CSV imports.
The password manager encrypts and decrypts vault data on the user’s device, so the vendor stores only data it can’t read. Some vendors call this end-to-end encryption. The key comes from the user’s master password or another credential, such as a passkey or hardware security key, so data stolen from the vendor’s servers is unreadable without it. Check how each product handles a lost master password.
Every product in this list uses zero-knowledge or end-to-end encryption. Keeper Security, Bitwarden, RoboForm for Business, Zoho Vault, and Uniqkey use AES-256. Passbolt uses the OpenPGP standard and lets users bring their own PGP key.
A business password manager stores, fills, and shares everyday credentials for every employee, with an admin console for users and policies. Privileged Access Management (PAM) covers accounts with elevated access, such as administrator accounts on servers and databases. PAM tools vault those credentials and control their use, for example granting elevated access only when needed, rotating credentials and recording sessions.
Keeper Security sells both: KeeperPAM secures and manages access to servers, web apps, databases and workloads. See our guide to the best PAM solutions for enterprise.
Starting prices are per user, per month, billed annually:
Zoho Vault starts from $1 per user, per month (Standard). NordPass Business and Uniqkey provide pricing on request.
Also check minimum seats, add-ons and features held for higher tiers (Bitwarden keeps SSO and self-hosting for Enterprise). Every product in this list offers a free trial.
- Proton Pass for Business: $1.99 (Pass Essentials, minimum 3 users)
- Enpass Business: $1.99
