Ask HN: Password sharing for remote teams
2 points by thehodge on Feb 16, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Hey HN, We are hiring at the moment (linkrisk.com/jobs ;) </plug>) and one of the things that is on my list to sort out is a decent way of sharing passwords between some of our team, we have two offices and at the moment I control all the passwords and that's not scalable.

I know many people use LastPass but I'm interested in what startups on HN use.



You can use keepassx and dropbox to sync between employees.

I also sent you an email as I'm the creator of https://elipsis.io (https://github.com/nherment/elipsis) and have been interested in implementing such feature for a while. I'd appreciate your input.


I'd check out Meldium, but honestly the goal should be to not share passwords at all. Instead, use services that let you grant each user their own account. Otherwise you'll have to change every shared password whenever you fire someone.


KISS.

Dropbox and a password-protected spread-sheet. You may want to encrypt it further depending on your needs.

Edit: You may not even need drop-box if you have some sort of shared repository you use (which most do).


I've also heard of (but not used) Keepass
