Password Genie is a password management application providing smart login and advanced customization, form fill and backup, and 2 step verification, among other features, from NRTC Managed Services (formerly SecurityCoverage).
Great for managing access to secrets and servers and is more secure than storing passwords in a browser. The browser plugin to autofill passwords works well. Being able to schedule access ahead of time is a big plus for me as I can be forgetful. If you want a lightweight password vault, however, it may not be the best choice.
It is well suited for any business as they would have password / confidential data which needs to be stored. Hence this tool provides all those features which is required. The product becomes less appropirate to SMB segments as the per device licensing becomes very difficult as there are various applications available as a free ware. Hence the licensing model need to be re-thought
Password Management: Its entire purpose, really. Secret Server stores passwords in an incredibly easy to use way. They can be organized in groups, they contain all the information about the site or system the password is used for (including URLs for websites), and even a notes field. You can set up specific policies for expirations and complexity, and Secret Server can even generate strong passwords for you. Using a password is simple, too, since you can just click a button to add it to your clipboard; you don't even have to unmask the password.
Security: The passwords are stored encrypted in a SQL database, and the application requires an authenticated login. This could be local, but we tie it into Active Directory. Each folder of passwords has groups assigned (in our case, again, AD, but you can make them local groups) with different permission levels, so we can compartmentalize passwords. Desktop technicians don't have access to network switch passwords, etc.
Easy Setup: It took me about an hour to get the server running, from spinning up the VM to importing our old password list. It took a little longer to organize the passwords into proper folders, and then assigning groups, but it was easy to do.
Personal Passwords: Each user also gets a personal folder, where they can keep their own, unshared passwords. This is nice for sites or systems with individualized logins (e.g., a firewall, VPN, etc.)
Favorites: Secret Server lets you tag passwords as "favorites" so you can easily find ones you use constantly. The search feature is nice, but this is nicer.
Generating strong, random passwords: Password Genie has a built-in password generator that creates strong and unique passwords for each account. This eliminates the need for employees to come up with their own passwords and reduces the risk of them using easily guessable or weak passwords.
Storing login information securely: Password Genie stores all login information in a secure location that is protected by a master password. This ensures that only authorized users can access the information and that it is protected against potential breaches.
Syncing across multiple devices: Password Genie allows employees to access their login information from multiple devices, including smartphones, laptops, and tablets. This means that they can easily access the information they need, regardless of where they are working.
Automatic login: Password Genie can automatically fill in login information on websites and apps, saving time and reducing the risk of typos.
The sharing functionality NEEDS improvement. We share most passwords at a group level, but then it becomes impossible to share them with a dynamic group and one or two one-off people as well. This is a major shortcoming.
I don't love the interface. I feel like there is an attempt at a dashboard, but it is really not effective.
I've heard, but never seen, that the software can actually change passwords in the target systems. If this is part of its deliverable, I do not know how to use it, and I don't know how you would do that. Seems like a great feature for password management.
Some of the users in my organization find it challenging to integrate Password Genie with other password management tools or services they are using, making it difficult to import or export password data.
The user interface and experience of Password Genie are outdated or difficult to use, leading to a less streamlined password management process.
Lack of advanced features: Some users might find that Password Genie lacks some advanced features or customization options that are available in other password management tools.
User interface: Some users might find the user interface of Password Genie to be less intuitive or less user-friendly compared to other password management tools.
There were not very many solutions that provided the entire package of taking an account from creation and deactivating it when no longer needed, as well as providing the discovery of unknown service accounts. Other solutions like RoboForm and LastPass did not offer the ability to manage your service accounts and added layers of complication to ensure security.
