Alternatives to Zoho Vault
Team passwords in the Zoho suite
Zoho Vault ranks #3 of 14 in Password managers, with an Alt Score of 94. It is proprietary, freemium from $1/user/month (USD) and available on Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Web and Browser extension. 14 of 14 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Individuals who want a free personal password manager, and teams or businesses that need shared, admin-controlled password storage with compliance features.
A zero-knowledge vault that stores unlimited passwords, notes, and documents with AES-256 encryption, so Zoho itself cannot read your data. It includes a password generator, browser autofill, biometric and SSO login, and emergency access for continuity. Team and business plans add role-based sharing, audit trails, and centralized admin controls.
You set a master password, then store or import logins into the vault and use browser extensions or mobile apps to autofill them on sites. Admins can organize users into groups and share specific credentials with defined permissions, with all access logged for audit.
