Password management solutions help organizations better adhere to best practices by allowing employees to generate strong passwords automatically and administrators to set password policies, like requiring password resets during a specific timeframe. Organizations generally use an enterprise password manager (EPM) to make it easy to create and enforce password policies.
Poor password hygiene can lead to data breaches. According to Verizon’s 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report, credential stuffing, which uses stolen credentials from other data breaches or obtained through spear-phishing campaigns, is a significant problem.
As organizations manage a wide range of credentials across their team, a password manager can help enforce good password practices, such as cloud platforms, on-premises infrastructure, and SaaS applications. And they give greater control over credentials and user access to minimize password-related risks.
EPMs generally provide a centralized dashboard to manage and onboard users, review activity, and enforce password policies. On the employee end, each individual user creates a complex password. The employee can then access their accounts in one click using a strong, hashed, or encrypted password. As long as the user creates a strong master password to log into the solution and keeps it confidential, they can greatly reduce their risk of account compromise.
Many EPMs implement zero-knowledge encryption, which means the password management vendor isn’t even capable of viewing your stored passwords in text. Accordingly, synchronization happens across devices only using encrypted password data.
Good enterprise password managers offer clients cross-platform support across Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android platforms. Some EPMs provide features for privileged access management and allow password sharing among employees or groups for shared accounts in a secured manner.
While EPMs fundamentally help manage passwords more efficiently and securely, they differ in features and degree of effectiveness for managed services providers (MSPs).
This article discusses some of the best EPMs organizations can deploy to strengthen their password security and enforce best practices in password management.

☑ Dashlane Business
Dashlane Business offers password management with Active Directory integration and supports SAML 2.0. Besides, organizations can deploy Dashlane to multiple users’ machines in Windows environments using Dashlane’s MSI packages.
It also includes a built-in VPN to improve security when using unsecured networks, like public Wi-Fi networks. It also actively monitors the dark web to find and report any leaked information. Additionally, it offers the Secure Notes feature and allows for managing sensitive information other than usernames and passwords.
☑ 1Password Business
1Password Business provides two notable features in addition to password management: domain breach reports and advanced protection.
Domain breach reports identify any expose information in a known data breach that’s connected to an organization’s email addresses, so you can change any passwords that may be re-used.
Advanced Protection helps set password policies for master passwords, such as blocking or allowing sign-in attempts from specific locations, IP addresses or from outdated 1Password apps. It also allows enforcing multifactor authentication for using 1Password on new devices.
☑ IT Glue
IT Glue offers an IT documentation platform with a password manager feature. This helps link passwords with relevant documentation. It is SOC 2-compliant, allows control of user access at a granular level, and reports passwords that are at risk. Organizations can also create individual user vaults to maintain separate master passwords.
☑ MYKI for Teams
MYKI for Teams takes a different approach to password management. It doesn’t store or manage encrypted passwords and vaults in the cloud; instead, it uses a peer-to-peer protocol with end-to-end encryption. This means all the passwords are stored in local devices of an organization and synchronized within these devices. It also supports two-factor authentication natively and allows password and account sharing.
☑ RoboForm for Business
RoboForm for Business offers SaaS-based password management that provides a centralized dashboard for admins to manage passwords, enforce policies, and generate reports on user activity. It supports multiple admin accounts, allows the creation and management of various groups, and makes it easy to share encrypted passwords with specific groups within an organization. Organizations can manage privileged access using role-based access management and permission delegation.
Conclusion
According to research, the average person deals with 70 to 80 passwords, making it challenging to create unique, strong passwords and remember them. This leads to using similar passwords for multiple accounts and creating passwords that are easy for attackers to guess or crack. On the other hand, tracking and sharing passwords on spreadsheets and filing them in notepads or sticky notes is inefficient and prone to insider attacks. Therefore, it’s helpful to use an EPM that strengthens password security and to gain more in-depth control over password management.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture
Keeper is built with a proprietary zero-knowledge security architecture, meaning all encryption and decryption is done locally on the user’s device. Each record is encrypted using AES-256 with a different and unique key that is randomly generated, client-side.
1Password only encrypts at the vault level and does not encrypt every record.
Better Multi-Platform Support
Keeper works on all major operating systems and is available on all end users’ devices. 1Password was built primarily for Apple’s operating systems, and it lags Keeper in terms of cross-platform support.
Most notably, 1Password does not support Internet Explorer, which represents a major gap in business and enterprise deployments.
Better Sharing Capabilities
1Password requires a user to create separate vaults for sharing different sets of passwords. Passwords are decoupled and spread across many vaults, which makes them difficult to effectively manage.
Keeper provides shareable folders and records within a single vault to allow for easy, effective sharing and management.
More Advanced Control Settings
Keeper provides a powerful and flexible way to manage credentials and files in the form of encrypted records. These records can be organized naturally into a set of folders and subfolders.
Individual records and/or a folder can be shared with a variety of permissions set by the owner. This arrangement is more manageable and scalable than scattering critical data amongst multiple vaults.
Market-Leading Security Infrastructure and Policies
Keeper has the longest standing SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and TRUSTe certification in the industry. Keeper’s ISMS will ensure that strict security controls are in place to protect customer data and ensure secure operation of products and services.
1Password has not exhibited the same rigor to security practices. It obtained SOC 2 Type 2 certification more than four years after Keeper, and it has still yet to obtain ISO 27001 certification.
Better Customer Service and Support
Keeper knows your questions matter and gives you the option to speak to a live person over the phone. Keeper also offers product training and onboarding with your subscription.
1Password business customers who switched to Keeper are astonished at the fact that Keeper provides a phone number to assist users. 1Password also asks their own users to request technical support via Twitter or a public message forum.
