Password management people actually use.

Most businesses run on a few hundred logins, and a surprising number of them are shared, reused, or saved in a browser nobody manages. Done properly, password management gives your team one place to keep credentials, a rotation schedule that does not depend on anyone remembering, and a reliable way to cut access off the day someone leaves.

What managed password management covers

Password management is one layer of our managed cybersecurity and compliance stack, and it is the layer that keeps a single stolen login from turning into access to everything.

The global company password vault is included on the Advanced and Compliance plans. Where we manage yours, the program covers:

  • A private vault for every person, so individual logins stop living in notebooks and browser profiles
  • Shared vaults for the credentials a team genuinely needs together, with a controlled access list instead of a forwarded chat message
  • Unique passwords per system, so one leak does not unlock five others
  • MFA and one-time codes stored next to the credentials they belong to
  • Browser and mobile access with autofill, so the secure path is also the fastest one

A vault is the easy part

Standing up a vault takes an afternoon. Keeping it honest is the actual work, and that is where most credential programs quietly fall apart. A vault only reflects reality if somebody maintains the list of accounts that exist, who needs each one, and what happens when that changes.

Rotation is the clearest example. Administrative accounts, vendor portals, and any shared login should change on a defined schedule, and immediately after a staff change or a suspected exposure. Rotation that belongs to nobody does not happen.

Shared credentials need the same discipline. Some systems genuinely cannot be split into named accounts, so the answer is not to pretend they are not shared. It is to know exactly which ones are, hold them in a controlled vault, keep the access list short, and rotate them whenever that list changes.

Offboarding is where the gap usually shows. The failure is rarely sophisticated: a departed employee's saved logins still work months later because nothing rotated behind them. Revoking vault access and rotating every shared credential that person held belongs on the same checklist as collecting the laptop.

Passwords are one factor. Sign-in policy is the other, and it lives in your Microsoft Entra ID tenant as conditional access and MFA enforcement, while the vault carries one-time codes for the systems that sit outside it. Conditional access management is included from the Standard plan up; running it alongside the vault is what stops a strong password sitting behind a weak sign-in policy.

Where we manage your vault, it runs on Keeper as a managed service: we stand it up, set the rotation schedule, keep the shared-credential list current, and revoke access at offboarding, so credential hygiene is a job somebody actually owns instead of a habit everyone is assumed to have.

Related layers of the same stack: managed detection and response catches the sign-in behavior a stolen credential produces, SIEM and security monitoring correlates those events across your environment, and compliance logging keeps the access record an auditor will ask to see.

If you are not sure which credentials are already floating around your business, that is what the managed service audit looks for.

In the knowledge base: our credential hygiene practices cover the day-to-day rules, creating good passwords explains what makes one hard to break, and Microsoft Authenticator and MFA walks through setting up a second factor.
