Picking a password manager for a ten-person shop
Every small business has a shared credentials document somewhere, or a set of passwords that live in one person's head. Both fail the same way: nobody can tell who knows what, and nothing can be changed when someone leaves.
A business password manager fixes the structural problem — shared access without shared secrets.
Do this today
- Choose a business tier, not individual licences. You need shared vaults, group permissions, and the ability to revoke one person without changing everything.
- Migrate the shared document first, then rotate every password in it. Assume everything that was in that file is already known.
- Set up recovery before you need it. Someone other than the owner must be able to regain access, or a single lost phone becomes a business continuity event.
What good looks like
No credential is stored in a document, a message thread, or one person's memory.
Removing someone's access takes one action, and you can see afterwards exactly what they had reach to.
