Password Manager

Does anyone know a good password manager that we can use in our startup? We would prefer something open-source and that let us share the passwords.

Keepass (http://keepass.info) KeepassX, a multi-platform Qt port (http://www.keepassx.org) Password Safe (http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net)

All three of these write to a single database file. This means that sharing the database would require having file available via a network share, _or_ keeping it in version control.

This topic comes up all the time. You might want to do a search and sift through some of the other popular threads.

I use KeePass, and keep it in sync it with different machines with Dropbox.

That works for personal use, but when sharing between multiple people KeePass will get locked up when multiple people have the application open at the same time (despite warnings people will keep it open for long periods of time). This means you can't write to the DB and can lead to corrupted databases. Its more work, but we moved to using Git to manage our Keepass DB.
