Cons The auto complete browser plugins are not as well designed as some of the competition. Switched from [Password Boss](https://www.capterra.com/p/210805/Password-Boss/) Issues with password sharing that did not work. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Cloud Architect Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, Secure Password Management for every user" April 27, 2026 5.0 Password management is complicated enough for must users, that a simple and accessible solution is required to be able to onboard most of the employees. Passwork gives you that. Also it supports APIs that replaces Vault-like solution, which are designed for automation rather than end users. Pros We needed a password manager that would include all company staff, with client-side encryption, and not only the technical staff. Passwork was able to provide that with a very simple and accessible interface for everyone. Moreover, the Passwork team provide fast-response support and improved the solution over time, adding the most needed features and performance improvements required to support very large compagnies/very high number of entries. Cons A few years ago Passwork missed some feature that other solution provided like multiple links per passwords or TOTP. But these feature as been added over time. Alternatives considered [Bitwarden Secrets Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/10012844/Secrets-Manager/)[Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Reason for choosing Passwork Price and how user-friendly the solution is. Most solutions does bring the minimum requirements for a modern password manager. But some are more focused on tech users than being able to target a large non-tech audience.

We just puplished the software to all of our workers and hard no problems. Pros The Browser addon, which is very useful and practical. The Support Team does an outstanding Job as well and overall helpful and always polite. Cons Nothing to complain about until now. Very happy. Switched from [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) Because we needed an administrated system. Review Source MD Matthieu D. Team Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "glad to use it" March 9, 2026 4.0 Overall, my experience with Passwork has been positive. It provides a reliable and user‑friendly solution for securely managing passwords within a team. Daily usage is straightforward, and the platform feels stable and efficient. The only real friction point comes from its user‑management capabilities, which could be more flexible, but the core functionality works very well. Pros Passwork is very easy to use, with a clean and intuitive interface that makes it simple to store, organize, and retrieve passwords quickly, even for non‑technical users. Cons User management can feel limited and sometimes inconvenient, especially when dealing with complex team structures or needing more granular control over permissions and access rights. Switched from [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) Can not set up right / user management access Review Source Response from Passwork March 17, 2026 Thank you for sharing your experience!

On the rare occasions where we've required support from the Passwork team, they have been friendly, professional and have responded to our queries with minimal delays. Pros It's a simple and easy to use password manager, once setup. Our non-technical staff use it without issue multiple times a day. It also has all of the features we care about without being too difficult to learn or use. We are able to securely access and share our passwords with minimal effort. I believe it is competitively priced based on my research Cons Depending on your installation method, keeping the product up to date can be involved. If using the self-hosted product, I suggest sticking with the Docker deployment method. Alternatives considered [LastPass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151988/LastPass/) Reason for choosing Passwork We wanted a self-hosted option. Additionally we preferred the price point of Passwork Switched from [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) We needed a product that better scaled to and suited our needs Review Source Response from Passwork March 17, 2026 Thank you for your review!

It is intuitive, easy to learn, offers a lot of features and maintenance and administration is easy once you do it a few times. Pros Ease of use, intuitive, granular access, LDAP functionality, Pricing, Password sharing, easy to master and easy to maintain Cons UI could be better ( auto adapt to screen size ), there is a lot of screen not being used in 16:9 ratio Loading times when opening a folder/organization or password entry Switched from [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) We needed a system solution for a password storage and sharing Review Source IO Imre O. architect Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Now feeling almost comfortable with passwork" July 29, 2025 5.0 It was relatively big effort for me to reach passwork but it was not so because of passwork but because of me being not prepared for it. For example 1st my understanding of totp was very vague; now i yet need to understand say keycloak to be able to setup sso. I could point to these aspects i encontered . purchasing passwork . intalling passwork . creating information architecture . doing integrations with other solutions . studying api interface . exporting-importing data and with each it actually took some time to get more comfortable but i also guess it would have been so with every software Pros Today i like it really a lot (for example i can see into totp so to say base secret so it makes possible to transfer this Password entry field to somewhere else, say to other passwork setup). I use v 7 self-hosted docker-based variation and to me it is good - i have direct control over my secrets and i more-or-less understand how it works component wise (different docker containers have different obligations, even looked into mongodb at some extent) Cons It is my deficit but it took some time for me to understand that i could think in one hand of folders as 'resource groups' and in the other hand use 'user groups', and as a result i have so to say two flocks i can connect with passwork acl logic; for example i create rg-www what contains web related secrets, and i create ug-www-sysadm and ug-www-appadm what contains user accounts who need to system-administrate and application-administrate www-related things, respectively. Maybe it would not make much sense but having dicovered for me Yubikey, i wonder if there would be reason to desire say webauthn based authentication into passwork. Switched from [KeePassXC](https://www.capterra.com/p/247048/KeePassXC/) i needed to use single secrets store instead on multiple being spraid around different computers, also multiple people need to see same content Review Source Response from Passwork July 30, 2025 Thank you for your detailed feedback and for sharing your experience with Passwork! Regarding YubiKey: support for YubiKey authentication is already in development and planned for release in Q3 this year. JK Jan K. Systems Administrator Chemicals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Sleek UI and Easy Maintenance – A Solid Password Manager" July 30, 2025 4.0 Passwork has improved significantly since version 7. It’s now a well-designed and easy-to-manage password manager that fits well into our enterprise environment. The clean UI, reliable update process, and straightforward setup make it a strong choice for teams looking for an on-premise solution. Pros The modern and simplified UI introduced in version 7 is intuitive and visually appealing. Updates via PowerShell modules are simple and quick—this used to be more complex before version 7. Setup and daily use are straightforward, even for non-technical users. Cons The search function can be unreliable. Sometimes entries don’t show up even when the search terms seem correct, which can be frustrating. We're still waiting for the promised desktop application and offline functionality, which would make Passwork more versatile, especially in restricted or offline environments. Alternatives considered [1Password](https://www.capterra.com/p/176113/1Password/)[Trend Micro Password Manager](https://www.capterra.com/p/238488/Trend-Micro-Password-Manager/) Reason for choosing Passwork On-premise deployment: Unlike 1Password and Trend Micro, Passwork gives us full control over where our data is stored. This was critical for meeting internal security and compliance requirements. Team and access management: Passwork offers granular user permissions, folder-level access control, and easy management for teams—all in a clean and simple interface. No subscription lock-in: Passwork offers a one-time licensing model for self-hosted environments, which is more cost-effective long-term compared to ongoing cloud subscriptions. Active development: Since version 7, the product has improved significantly in terms of UI/UX and update management (especially via PowerShell). Switched from [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) We used KeePass for several years, but as our team grew, it became increasingly difficult to manage shared access, keep the database synchronized, and maintain proper audit controls. We needed a more collaborative, centralized, and web-based solution with role-based permissions and team management. Passwork offered all of that, with a cleaner UI, on-premise deployment, and simplified user administration which made the switch a logical step for us. Review Source Response from Passwork August 1, 2025 Thank you for your detailed review! We’re glad to hear that Passwork’s recent updates have improved your experience. We’ve shared your feedback about search with our development team. As for desktop apps and offline functionality: these features are on our roadmap and scheduled for release in Q3 this year. Thanks again for sharing your feedback — it helps us make Passwork even better! AW Anders W. Infrastructure Architect Government Administration Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Got the key features we need" October 8, 2025 5.0 Pros Password Management with role based vaults and private vaults, ease of use for the endusers, user management via LDAP and SAMLv2 and a usable API was the key features for us when deciding on a web-based password vault solution. Cons Results from the search function in the webgui is a bit strange at times but we'v learned to live with it, other than that we have no issues. Alternatives considered [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/)[Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/) Reason for choosing Passwork At the time we missed some key features in other products. Review Source VA Viktors A. Devops engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Passwork review" August 1, 2025 5.0 We have been using this system for a year and now we renewed licence for another year. It has helped us to keep our passwords centralised and secure. Pros It perfectly fits our companies needs, it has LDAP integration, shared and private password vaults and easy user management. System is very easy to use with fast learning curve and great value for money. Cons Does not have built in auto update. Security dashboard audit results does not show for vaults or password. Alternatives considered [KeePass](https://www.capterra.com/p/151987/KeePass/) Reason for choosing Passwork More features and easier to manage, more modern. Switched from [Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Lack of LDAP and other features. UI not user friendly. Review Source Response from Passwork August 5, 2025 Thank you for your positive review! We’ve shared your feedback about built-in auto updates and a more detailed security dashboard with our development and product teams — some of these features are already in development, others are on our roadmap. We’ll keep working to improve these areas. Thank you again for helping us make Passwork better! SP Sergey P. Information Security Officer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Passwork Pro - Great Job, Exceptional Product" June 10, 2025 5.0 Pros Excellent functionality at a reasonable cost. We received all the features we needed including SSO, API, an understandable client-side encryption mechanism, great support during the PoC and onboarding, and very responsive managers who helped quickly and flexibly resolve all organizational issues. Cons Some specific features that would enhance usability in our particular scenarios are being implemented rather slowly. Obviously, there are still many basic features in the high-priority backlog, and the product is actively developing in that direction, but for teams with less enterprise-focused and more specific requirements, this might not be very convenient for non-enterprise customers in specific cases. However, for me, the existing advantages totally outweigh the disadvantages.

CTO Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good solution for businesses and workgroups with on premise storage and AD/ LDAP integration" February 12, 2025 5.0 I was looking for an on premise solution to store and manage our passwords. Multiuser with different roles and rights was a must, LDAP integration a nice add on. Passwork ticked all the boxes. They were realy helpful in the testing phase (demo license and expanded it to do some more tests) and ultimately helped with the integration of our AD user lsit (was a bit tricky to setup but works flawless ever since). Performance is very good and the best thing is the near zero enduser problems - its so intuitive, that none of the 30 users had any further questions after first introducing the software. We're using the browser plugin and secure the access to the actual frontend with a certificate - works really well. Pros On premise solution Good LDAP Integration - User creation fast and easy Group/ role management is easy Intuitive user interface, nearly no enduser support necessary Quick reply from helpdesk and good documentation Cons Mobile device/ App integration could be better Alternatives considered [Bitwarden](https://www.capterra.com/p/210695/Bitwarden/)[Passbolt](https://www.capterra.com/p/158063/passbolt/) Reason for choosing Passwork Better feature set, best price point, developed in Europe Review Source FM Francisco M.

Además el sistema de soporte funciona rápido. Pros Es muy fácil de manejar y permite organizar las contraseñas de nuestros clientes fácilmente. Permite organizarlo todo en estructura de carpetas y asignar roles específicos para controles de acceso. La interfaz es clara y actual. Cons El buscador tiene limitaciones y no busca por nombres de carpetas. Lo veo bastante mejorable y un error importante.
