Enterprise level access management.
We use it to store secrets (passwords) for websites and applications. Secrets for production access can also be checked out in approved time windows, meaning you can schedule the access ahead of time. This is a great way to manage and approve this type of privileged access. Secrets can be individual or shared within a team.
- Store and access secrets (passwords) securely.
- Manage access to secrets and servers.
- Autofill secrets via browser plugin.
- Personally I would prefer an app instead of a website.
- Can be too many options. Sometimes I just want to add a secret quickly.
- Can be slow to adopt until you get used to how it works.
- Secure secret (password) vault.
- Management of access to servers.
- Autofill secrets on websites.
- Scheduled access in advance reduces last-minute calls/emails.
- Less reliance on browser password storage which is not secure.
- Adoption can be slow.
Besides KeePass, I have used the built-in browser password vaults, like the one for Chrome. These however are not very secure as security can be bypassed. KeePass is lighter weight and could be considered more secure as it is not a website. You can also create alternate modes of access like a picture as your master password.

Rotate with Thychotoc
We use Thychotic Secret Server for privilege access management. All our admin and service accounts are managed through the software. We engage in password rotation, automated login through Thychotic interface into servers and other privileges environments. It enables us to be able to maintain secure access across our various environments which include production, development, staging, tests, etc. without having to engage in cumbersome password and access management.
- Password Rotation
- Ability to check in and check out credentials
- Automated logins directly from Thychotic into the protected resource
- Ease of integration with Identity and Access Management tools
- Password Rotations
- Password Generation
- Priviledged Account Checkin and Check out
- It has increased our security profile within our organization
- it has made implementation of complex password policies easier to achieve
- It has assisted with the hardening of the infrastructure by automatically proecting our service accounts and rotating passwords regularly
Thychotic Secret Server was heads and shoulders above the next consideration on our list.

Keeping Secure with Secret Server
We use Secret Server not only as a place to store passwords but also as a tool to rotate our passwords on a consistent basis on multiple platforms. We also use it as a "jump host" via RDP and SSH. Mainly our IT department uses it, but we also have other departments using it as well. Hopefully, in the future, Secret Server will allow you to use HTTPS as one of its proxies.
- Centralized password repository
- Ability to rotate passwords
- The Secret Server mobile app is terrible!
- HTTPS isn't supported as a proxy
- Password management
- Rotating local passwords for several different platforms
- RDP and SSH ability from the secret
- Keeping us compliant with password rotation
- Keeping us more secure
We tried using 1Password, and they have a great mobile app, but they weren't able to do the password rotation on our devices. Secret Server was basically our top option after reviewing.
