Best 10 Dashlane Password Manager Alternatives

Dashlane is a popular business password manager for good reasons. It offers a modern, intuitive password vault, strong admin visibility, and granular security controls.

But as with all areas of IT, no single solution is the right fit for every organization. So for this guide we decided to take a look at the top Dashlane alternatives.

Our list includes business password managers that compete with Dashlane directly by giving each employee their own vault, as well as solutions that focus on securing admin and service account credentials through a privileged access management-led vault.

For each product, we cover its key features, our overall editorial view, and the strengths and cautions that you should consider when creating your shortlist.

What Is A Business Password Manager?

A business password manager gives every employee in your organization access to an encrypted vault, in which they can store their login credentials for all the workplace apps they use. Usually, the password manager comes with a browser extension that helps users generate strong, unique passwords, and save them to their vault.

The extension then auto-fills those passwords when the user opens an app or website, which means that the only password they have to remember is the one to log in to the vault itself.

In terms of management, these tools offer centralized provisioning, policy enforcement, password health/hygiene reporting, breach monitoring, and the ability to oversee password sharing.

The PAM-led vaults on this list also offer automatic privileged credential rotation, session recording, and secrets management for machine identities.

How We Tested

We evaluated each Dashlane alternative on this list through hands-on testing of its deployment, vault features (password migration, creation, and sharing), admin controls (including policy enforcement and password health reporting across the organization), and end user experience. We also spoke with product teams to better understand the solutions’ security architectures and product roadmaps. This guide was researched and written by Caitlin Harris, with technical review by Craig MacAlpine. Read our full methodology

1.

Keeper Security

Keeper Security Logo
Keeper Security

Best for mid-size and large organizations that want granular security controls in an easy-to-use vault

Keeper Security is an enterprise password manager and privileged access management platform for organizations of all sizes and sectors.

Its password manager runs on the same platform as KeeperPAM (which includes session management) and Keeper Secrets Manager, which you can add as your requirements grow.

Keeper is one of the most popular password managers on the market, protecting over 100,000 organizations globally.

  • Keeper encrypts vault data on the user’s device with AES-256 in a zero-knowledge architecture, so Keeper can’t read stored credentials
  • The KeeperFill browser extension detects login fields and fills credentials and 2FA codes
  • Admins organize users and sharing permissions through Nodes, Teams, and Roles, and can share a credential with the password hidden from view
  • Security Audit dashboards for users and admins score password strength and flag weak and reused passwords
  • BreachWatch scans the dark web for stored credentials and alerts admins without exposing the passwords themselves
  • Advanced Reporting and Alerts tracks more than 300 event types and integrates with Splunk, Sumo Logic, and other SIEMs, and a separate Compliance Reports add-on helps prove SOX and PCI compliance
  • The Enterprise plan adds SAML 2.0 SSO, SCIM, and AD/LDAP provisioning
  • Business and Enterprise users get a free Family Plan, a separate personal vault the company can’t access

We recommend Keeper for mid-size and large organizations that want granular security controls in a vault employees find easy to use, particularly those planning to extend into privileged access or secrets management.

We found the admin console fast and responsive, with a settings search tool that makes it easy to find specific policies among Keeper’s large set of controls. The end user experience is also very intuitive: you can easily save passwords, share them with your team securely, and access them when needed.

Documentation is detailed, with a quick start guide, video overviews, and written docs. Keeper also holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP High Certification.

KeeperPAM adds session recording, browser isolation, credential rotation, endpoint privilege management and secrets manager to the same console, through a lightweight KeeperPAM Gateway that needs only outbound connections, with no firewall changes.

BreachWatch dark web monitoring and Advanced Reporting are also available as paid add-ons.

Strengths
Zero-knowledge AES-256 encryption, with no data breaches on record, according to Keeper
Granular role-based access through Nodes, Teams, and Roles
Certifications include SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, FedRAMP High, and GovRAMP High
KeeperPAM and Secrets Manager available on the same platform
Very easy to use and intuitive user experience
Cautions
BreachWatch and Advanced Reporting are sold separately from the base plans
SSO, SCIM, and AD/LDAP provisioning require the Enterprise plan
2.

1Password Business

1Password Business Logo
1Password

Best for Organizations with an established identity provider and SIEM that need detailed compliance reporting

1Password is a password manager for businesses and consumers, based in Toronto and founded in 2005. 1Password is used by more than 100,000 businesses.

1Password Business is aimed at organizations that already run an identity provider and SIEM tools and want their password manager to connect to both.

It is sold as a Teams Starter Pack for small teams, a Business plan, and an Enterprise plan.

  • Vaults are protected with AES-256 encryption, an account password strengthened with PBKDF2 and a 128-bit Secret Key
  • Admins can enforce MFA on the vault, with biometric unlock on mobile devices
  • Integrations with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and OneLogin provide SSO unlock and SCIM provisioning
  • Activity logs and usage reports can be exported or streamed to Splunk and Datadog
  • Watchtower alerts users and admins to weak, reused, and breached passwords
  • Travel Mode removes selected vaults from a device before a border crossing and restores them afterwards
  • The Slack app posts alerts and invites to Slack based on activity in your 1Password account
  • Business accounts include a free family account for each employee

We recommend 1Password for organizations with an established identity provider and SIEM that need detailed compliance reporting from their password manager.

We like 1Password’s compliance reporting, which lets you export audit logs or stream them straight into your SIEM. The Entra ID and Okta integrations make provisioning straightforward, and setup and onboarding are quick. The dashboard is intuitive, especially on Mac and iOS. In our testing we did find sharing credentials with people outside your organization was less intuitive than sharing internally.

1Password Business costs $8.99 per user per month, billed annually, and the Teams Starter Pack covers 10 users for $24.95 per month, billed annually. A 14-day free trial is available.

Strengths
Intuitive interface, particularly on Mac and iOS
Exportable audit logs with Splunk and Datadog integrations
Fast setup and onboarding
Travel Mode protects vault data on work devices taken across borders
Free family accounts for every business user
Cautions
Moving items between vaults lacks a clear audit trail
External sharing is less intuitive than internal sharing
3.

Bitwarden

Bitwarden Logo
Bitwarden

Best for Technical teams that want an auditable, open-source vault

Bitwarden is an open-source password manager based in Santa Barbara, California, and founded in 2016.

Its code is public and independently audited, meaning it’s more transparent about how it handles your data. You can run it in Bitwarden’s cloud or self-host it on the Enterprise plan, which suits security-conscious technical teams and organizations with data residency requirements.

Bitwarden for business is sold as Teams and Enterprise plans, with a separate Secrets Manager for developer teams.

  • Bitwarden encrypts vault data with AES-256 in a zero-knowledge design, and its source code is published and third-party audited
  • You can run Bitwarden in its cloud or self-host it on the Enterprise plan on your own infrastructure
  • Collections group shared credentials by department, project, or team
  • On the Enterprise plan, admins enforce policies covering master password complexity, vault exports, and sharing
  • Bitwarden Send shares text and files through encrypted links that expire
  • Each credential can hold multiple URLs, and a built-in authenticator stores and fills 2FA codes
  • The Enterprise plan adds passwordless SSO and a free Families plan for each user, and every plan supports logging in with a passkey
  • Bitwarden supports compliance with HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, and SOC 2, and is available in more than 50 languages

We recommend Bitwarden for technical teams that want an auditable, open-source vault, particularly organizations that need to self-host for data residency or compliance.

Bitwarden offers a high level of transparency for its price. Collections make it simple to organize shared credentials by team, migration is smooth, and email support is responsive. The interface is less polished than most commercial password managers, so teams without a dedicated technical admin may find the configuration options heavy going.

Teams costs $4 per user per month and Enterprise costs $6 per user per month, billed annually.

Strengths
Open-source code with independent third-party audits
Cloud, or self-hosted on Enterprise
Low per-user pricing
Encrypted, expiring links for sharing with external users
Free Families plan for every Enterprise user
Cautions
SSO requires the Enterprise plan
4.

Delinea Secret Server

Delinea Secret Server Logo
Delinea

Best for Enterprises with large numbers of privileged and service account credentials to secure

Delinea Secret Server is a Privileged Access Management (PAM) vault from Delinea.

It’s primarily built for enterprise IT and security teams that need to secure privileged credentials, service accounts, and admin access across their infrastructure.

Secret Server is available in the cloud or on-premises.

  • Secret Server stores privileged account credentials, documents, and passwords in an AES-256 encrypted vault that supports two-factor authentication at login
  • Discovery scans on a schedule for service, application, and admin accounts across your environment
  • Policy-driven rotation changes privileged passwords automatically and enforces complexity rules
  • Dependency detection shows which systems rely on a credential before it is rotated
  • Session recording captures video and keystrokes for audit
  • Just-in-time provisioning, check-in/check-out, and custom approval workflows control access, including for third-party vendors
  • Secret Server works with Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, SQL, Windows Server, and Linux; Entra ID groups are synced for role-based access
  • A browser extension fills web login forms from the vault

We recommend Delinea Secret Server for enterprises with large numbers of privileged and service account credentials to secure.

We like dependency detection, which makes service account rotation safer, and keystroke-level session recording, which gives compliance teams a detailed forensic record. Admins can manage everything from a single console, and documentation is extensive.

Secret Server goes well beyond what most password managers cover, which is something to consider if you are looking for a straight alternative to Dashlane. If you are replacing Dashlane for all employees, we recommend you use Secret Server for your IT team’s privileged credentials and pair it with a workforce password manager for general staff.

Pricing is by quote, and a free 30-day trial is available.

Strengths
Automatic rotation with dependency detection
Session recording with keystroke logging
JIT access and approval workflows for internal and third-party users
Cloud or on-premises deployment
Works across AD, Entra ID, SQL, Windows, and Linux
Cautions
Rotation failures can cause account lockouts
Some features require scripting
Pricing is by quote only
5.

JumpCloud Password Vault

JumpCloud Password Vault Logo
JumpCloud

Best for Organizations that already use JumpCloud as their directory

JumpCloud Password Vault is part of JumpCloud’s cloud directory and identity platform. JumpCloud was founded in 2012 and is based in Louisville, Colorado.

Password Vault is a full password manager that is integrated into JumpCloud’s wider user directory. This directory also supports user provisioning, device management, and SSO, so it’s a strong choice for teams looking to consolidate their identity tools.

It is a centralized, cloud-based vault, available as an add-on or as part of JumpCloud’s SSO and platform packages.

  • Password Vault stores your organization’s credentials in an encrypted, cloud-based vault, and credentials are not stored locally on users’ devices
  • Admins share credentials with teams through shared folders, with Auto-login, View secret, View details, or Manage permissions on each share
  • At offboarding, admins can reassign or revoke a user’s credentials, and can revoke a whole user group’s access in one step
  • A password generator and health dashboard help identify weak or compromised credentials, and admins can see expiring and expired credentials
  • The JumpCloud Go browser extension autofills credentials in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera, and the JumpCloud Protect app autofills them on iOS and Android and also delivers MFA
  • The directory syncs with Active Directory, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365, and supports Okta as an external identity provider
  • Audit logs track every credential access event, which admins review in JumpCloud Directory Insights

We recommend JumpCloud Password Vault for organizations that already use JumpCloud as their directory, or those looking to consolidate password management, SSO, and device management on one platform.

Tying a password manager to a user directory means you can reassign or revoke a departing user’s credentials from the same admin portal you use to offboard them. We also like that the same browser extension and mobile app handle both autofill and MFA.

JumpCloud Password Vault costs $3 per user per month as an add-on, billed annually ($4 billed monthly), and is included in JumpCloud’s SSO package ($11 per user per month, billed annually) and Platform packages.

A 30-day free trial is available, with 24×7 Premium Support during the trial.

Strengths
Credentials reassigned or revoked at offboarding
Sharing permissions down to auto-login only
Autofill and MFA from the same extension and mobile app
$3 per user per month as an add-on
One console for directory, devices, and passwords
Cautions
No dark web monitoring advertised
6.

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro Logo
ManageEngine

Best for Enterprises committed to on-premises PAM, particularly existing ManageEngine customers

ManageEngine Password Manager Pro is a web-based Privileged Access Management (PAM) vault from ManageEngine, the IT management division of Zoho.

Zoho Corporation was founded in 1996, and ManageEngine’s tools are used by hundreds of thousands of companies.

Password Manager Pro is built for IT teams that need to manage, monitor, and audit privileged credentials, and it is deployed on-premises, which keeps credential data inside your own infrastructure.

  • A central encrypted vault stores passwords, documents, and digital identities, with LDAP directory sync
  • On-premises deployment keeps credentials on your own servers
  • Role-based access controls restrict who can view and use each credential
  • Remote password resets rotate privileged passwords and SSH keys automatically on the Premium and Enterprise editions
  • Session management records privileged RDP and SSH sessions for audit
  • A request-release workflow grants time-limited access to passwords, so users don’t keep permanent access
  • Templates cover more than 80 resource types, including operating systems, network devices, and database servers

We recommend Password Manager Pro for enterprises committed to on-premises PAM, particularly existing ManageEngine customers that want to keep credentials on their own infrastructure.

We like the administrator-based licensing, which lets a small admin team manage credentials for an unlimited number of users and resources and keeps costs predictable as you grow. LDAP integration works well, especially alongside other ManageEngine tools.

Password Manager Pro offers far more enterprise functionality than a basic password manager, so we recommend you use it for your IT team’s privileged accounts and pair it with a workforce password manager for general staff.

Pricing starts at $595 per year for two admins on the Standard edition, $1,395 per year for five admins on Premium, and $3,995 per year for 10 admins on Enterprise. Perpetual licenses are also available.

Strengths
Credentials stored on your own servers
Session recording for privileged access audits
Admin-based licensing with unlimited users and resources
Templates for more than 80 resource types
Subscription and perpetual licensing options
Cautions
Password rotation and session recording require the Premium edition or above
7.

NordPass Business

NordPass Business Logo
Nord Security

Best for Distributed and mobile-first teams that want a consistent vault across devices

NordPass is a business password manager from Nord Security, the company behind NordVPN.

NordPass is built for distributed and mobile-first teams that need a consistent password experience across every device they use. It’s designed to be fast and easy to use, and ties into Nord’s wider portfolio of business solutions, including ZTNA.

NordPass Business is available as Teams, Business, and Enterprise plans.

  • NordPass encrypts vault data with XChaCha20 in a zero-knowledge architecture, which NordPass says is about three times faster on devices without AES hardware
  • Apps cover Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, with browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari
  • A built-in authenticator stores and fills 2FA codes
  • Users unlock the vault with biometrics or Windows Hello, and can add a USB security key as a second factor at sign-in
  • The admin console includes an Activity Log, Password Health scans, and the Data Breach Scanner
  • Admins set company-wide password policies, auto-lock, and sharing controls
  • Google Workspace SSO is available on all plans, with Entra ID and Okta SSO on Enterprise
  • Migration tools import credentials from other password managers

We recommend NordPass for distributed and mobile-first teams that want a clean, consistent vault across desktop, mobile, and browser.

The vault interface is clean, and sharing a credential takes seconds. The built-in authenticator is practical, migration from other password managers is smooth, and support is patient and knowledgeable.

If a user loses both their master password and recovery code, the organization Owner has to approve their recovery, so we’d recommend you set up a recovery process for your users before rollout.

Strengths
XChaCha20 encryption
Consistent experience across desktop, mobile, and browser
Built-in 2FA authenticator
Smooth migration from other password managers
Data Breach Scanner included from the Business plan
Cautions
Account recovery without a recovery code depends on Owner approval
8.

Idira Workforce Password Management

Idira Workforce Password Management Logo
Palo Alto Networks

Best for Large enterprises that use or plan to adopt Idira or CyberArk for privileged access

Idira Workforce Password Management is a business password manager from Palo Alto Networks.

It secures the credentials employees use for business applications, and is integrated across Idira’s privileged access management, identity and access management, identity governance, and secrets management products.

It is aimed at enterprises that want workforce password management on the same platform as the rest of their identity security stack, and skews toward larger organizations.

  • Credentials are stored in a centralized vault, hosted in the cloud or self-hosted
  • The vault holds secured notes, files, and non-web credentials such as access tokens, encryption keys, and security questions, alongside business app logins
  • A password generator creates complex passwords and passphrases, and admins enforce complexity rules and password rotation
  • Browser-based launch and autofill give users one-click access to business apps without retyping credentials
  • Users share credentials and secured items with internal teams through governed workflows, with control over who can view, edit, or share each one, and ownership can transfer automatically when needed
  • Password insights detect breached, compromised, weak, and aged passwords, prompt users to change them, and can block risky actions based on policy
  • The mobile app works offline with biometric or PIN protection, and syncs automatically when the device reconnects
  • Built-in reports, audit trails, and audit events show admins which credentials are at risk and how credentials are used

We recommend Idira Workforce Password Management for large enterprises that already use, or plan to adopt, Idira or CyberArk for privileged access and identity management, and want employee passwords managed on the same platform.

We like the range of items the vault can secure. Beyond web logins, it stores access tokens, encryption keys, files, and security questions. Password insights can block risky actions based on policy as well as alerting users, and the self-hosted vault option suits organizations that need to keep credentials on their own infrastructure.

Palo Alto Networks publishes limited encryption detail and no passkey information for the product, so we recommend you confirm these details and the product roadmap in a demo before you commit.

Strengths
Cloud or self-hosted vault
Secures non-web credentials such as access tokens and encryption keys
Policy-based blocking of risky password actions
Offline mobile access with biometric or PIN protection
Part of a wider identity platform covering PAM, IAM, identity governance, and secrets management
Cautions
Pricing is by quote only
Limited published encryption detail and no passkey information
9.

Proton Pass for Business

Proton Pass for Business Logo
Proton

Best for Privacy-focused small and mid-size businesses

Proton Pass for Business is a password manager from Proton, the Swiss company behind Proton Mail.

It is built for small and mid-size businesses that prioritize privacy and data sovereignty, backed by Swiss jurisdiction and Proton’s policy of never selling user data.

Proton Pass is open source, and is available as Pass Essentials and Pass Professional plans or bundled with Proton Mail, Drive, and VPN in Proton Workspace.

  • Vault data is end-to-end encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and the app code is open source
  • Hide-my-email aliases let users sign up for services without exposing their work email address
  • With SSO on Pass Professional, admins onboard and offboard users in one click and review activity logs, and password health reporting is on every plan
  • Dark web monitoring alerts users when their credentials appear in a breach
  • A built-in authenticator stores and auto-completes TOTP codes
  • Pass Professional adds SSO and SCIM with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID, plus admin policies and SIEM integration
  • Proton Workspace bundles Pass with encrypted email, secure file storage, VPN, and account takeover protection

We recommend Proton Pass for privacy-focused small and mid-size businesses, particularly those already using Proton Mail or Proton Drive.

Proton Pass offers a full business password manager, backed by Proton’s privacy track record. The feature set is strong: one-click onboarding and offboarding saves admin time, hide-my-email aliases help protect staff from spam and phishing, and TOTP auto-completion is convenient for end users.

Pass Professional connects to Okta, Entra ID, Google Workspace, and OneLogin, so we recommend you trial it against your existing stack if you need deep enterprise integrations.

Pass Essentials costs $1.99 per user per month and Pass Professional costs $4.49 per user per month, billed annually, with a three-user minimum.

Strengths
Swiss jurisdiction and a no-data-sales policy
Open-source, end-to-end encrypted apps
Hide-my-email aliases
Dark web monitoring on every plan
Low entry pricing
Cautions
SSO and SCIM require Pass Professional
10.

RoboForm for Business

RoboForm for Business Logo
Siber Systems

Best for Compliance-focused organizations that want a familiar, low-training password manager

RoboForm for Business is a password manager designed for organizations that prioritize policy enforcement and user familiarity.

The user interface is designed to be very straightforward and familiar to users, which helps employees adopt it with little training. It also supports 2FA with a wide range of authenticators.

RoboForm is available as a Business plan, with custom Enterprise pricing for larger deployments. There is also a consumer offering for individuals or very small teams.

  • RoboForm encrypts vault data with AES-256 and PBKDF2-SHA256 in a zero-knowledge architecture, with decryption on the user’s device
  • Directory sync provisions users automatically, with SSO for Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace, Ping, and OneLogin, and SCIM provisioning for Entra ID, Okta, and OneLogin
  • Admins set password complexity rules, can raise the master password requirement above RoboForm’s 12-character baseline, and can disable emergency access
  • Password health checks flag weak, reused, and compromised credentials
  • Dark web monitoring alerts users when stored credentials appear in a breach
  • Reporting covers activity at both organization and user level
  • Admins share credentials with teams through groups
  • RoboForm stores passkeys and TOTP codes in the vault and autofills 2FA codes
  • The Enterprise plan adds a self-hosting model for environments of 1,000 or more users

We recommend RoboForm for Business for compliance-focused organizations that want a familiar, easy-to-use password manager at a published per-user price.

We like RoboForm’s policy controls: complexity rules and emergency access are configurable without much admin overhead. Customers praise cross-device sync and responsive support.

RoboForm for Business costs $3.33 per user per month ($39.95 per user per year), billed annually, and users can get a company-sponsored Family plan when the company has 10 or more paid licenses. Pricing is also very cost effective.

Strengths
File Explorer-style interface reduces training
SSO and SCIM with major identity providers
Dark web monitoring included
Published pricing of $3.33 per user per month
Responsive support
Cautions
Best suited for SMBs and mid-market

Password Management Checklist

Here are some key considerations and features to look for when choosing a business password manager.

  • Zero-knowledge encryption, with vault data encrypted and decrypted on the user's device
  • Independent security audits or penetration tests published within the last 12 months
  • Data residency options that match your regulatory requirements
  • Self-hosted or on-premises deployment, if your policies rule out a cloud vault
  • Certifications that your organization may need to show your auditors, such as SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, or FedRAMP
  • MFA on the vault, including hardware security keys
  • Passkey storage and passwordless vault unlock
  • A native SSO integration with your identity provider
  • SCIM provisioning or directory sync, so leavers lose access as soon as they're deprovisioned
  • Shared vaults or folders with view, use, edit, and reshare permissions
  • Role-based admin controls and enforceable password policies
  • Account recovery that doesn't give admins access to vault contents
  • Guest or contractor access, if you share credentials outside the company
  • Reports on weak, reused, and breached passwords across the organization
  • Dark web or breach monitoring
  • Audit logs that record credential access and changes
  • SIEM integration (for example Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel) for security teams
  • Secrets management for API keys, tokens and SSH keys used in CI/CD pipelines
  • Automatic rotation of admin and service account passwords
  • Session recording for privileged access
  • An interface employees find easy to use: pilot it with a real team, covering saving, filling, and sharing passwords
  • A free trial long enough to pilot with a real team
  • Onboarding support and admin training
  • Import support for Dashlane's CSV export, or Credential Exchange from the Dashlane app
  • Apps and browser extensions for every platform your employees use

The Bottom Line

Whichever product you choose when looking for a password manager, employees have to find it easy to use, or they’ll go back to saving passwords in browsers and spreadsheets. Test how staff save, fill, and share passwords with a pilot group, not just how the admin console looks.

Then match the product to whose credentials you need to protect. For everyday staff logins, compare business password managers on SSO and SCIM, admin policies, breach monitoring, and passkey support on the plan you’d actually buy. If you also need to rotate and record access to admin and service accounts, look at the PAM-led vaults in this guide, or at a password manager vendor that sells PAM separately.

Finally, plan the switch. Dashlane exports to CSV and can also move data with Credential Exchange from the Dashlane app. Check how each alternative imports it, and run a test migration with one team to see how shared folders and permissions carry over before you move everyone.

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

1Password Business, JumpCloud Password Vault, NordPass Business, and Proton Pass for Business are cloud-hosted.

Two products in this list are open source. Bitwarden hosts its source code on GitHub, free for anyone to review, and completes annual source code audits and penetration tests. All Proton Pass apps are open source.

Dashlane has made the code of its Android, iOS, and web extension apps public under a non-commercial license (CC BY-NC 4.0), but doesn’t describe it as open source.

Dashlane exports vault data three ways: as a CSV file, as an encrypted DASH file for backups or moving between Dashlane accounts, or through the Credential Exchange Protocol, which sends passwords, passkeys and verification codes to participating password managers. Credential Exchange runs from the Dashlane app on iOS 26, macOS 26 or Android 10 and later, not from the browser extension.

On the import side, Idira Workforce Password Management can import from Dashlane, along with any password manager that exports to CSV. JumpCloud Password Vault imports CSV files, with each file mapped to an item type or folder. For the other products, check the vendor’s import documentation before you switch.

A CSV export is unencrypted, so delete it after importing. To bring passkeys across, use Credential Exchange with a password manager that supports it.

This list includes both. A business password manager gives every employee a vault for the logins they use each day, with autofill, sharing, and admin policies. A Privileged Access Management (PAM) vault secures the admin and service accounts that run your systems. Delinea Secret Server discovers privileged accounts, changes their passwords on a schedule, and records sessions and keystrokes. ManageEngine Password Manager Pro rotates passwords and SSH keys and records sessions, on your own servers.

Some products sit between the two. Idira Workforce Password Management gives employees a password manager that can retrieve privileged credentials from Privilege Cloud or PAM – Self-Hosted. Keeper Security, 1Password, and JumpCloud each sell PAM as a separate product. See our guide to the best PAM solutions for enterprise.

Starting prices for business password managers, billed annually:

  • Proton Pass for Business: $1.99 per user, per month (Pass Essentials, minimum 3 users)
  • NordPass Business: $1.99 per user, per month (Teams, sold in 10-user packs)
  • Keeper Security: $2 per user, per month (Business Starter, 5 to 10 users)
  • JumpCloud Password Vault: $3 per user, per month as an add-on, or included in the $11 per user, per month SSO package
  • RoboForm for Business: $3.33 per user, per month
  • Bitwarden: $4 per user, per month (Teams)
  • 1Password Business: $8.99 per user, per month, or $24.95 per month for the 10-member Teams Starter Pack

PAM vaults are priced differently. ManageEngine Password Manager Pro starts at $595 per year for 2 administrators (Standard), with perpetual licenses from $1,495. Delinea Secret Server and Idira Workforce Password Management are priced on request.
