KeePass

KeePass is a password manager.  You can use it to store all your passwords in one database, and locked with a master key.  You can store the database on a shared network drive and used by multiple users.

A video tutorial on how to setup Keepass on your machine is available here.

• The password for the service/site will be initially masked, click on the icon to reveal the password. You can copy and paste the revealed password.
• Any additional notes you have made on the entry will also be available for you, should you need the information.

How to...

• share a password database with multiple users

You can store the password database file on a shared network drive.  Multiple users can use it at the same time.  When attempting to save, KeePass will check if the file on disk has been modified since it was loaded.  If yes, you have an option to synchronize or overwrite the file.  With synchronizing, changes made by others (file on disk) and your changes are merged.
