Password Manager Basics for a Small Business

Use unique passwords, shared vaults, recovery planning, and staff access without passing credentials through messages.

Choose and secure the manager

  • Compare business sharing, administrator recovery, device support, and export options.
  • Create a long, unique master password that is not used anywhere else.
  • Enable a strong second factor and save emergency recovery information securely.

Share access without sharing passwords

  • Use vault permissions for staff who need a login.
  • Avoid sending passwords through email, text, or shared documents.
  • Remove access promptly when roles change or employment ends.

Adopt it gradually

  • Start with email, banking, domain, accounting, and administrator accounts.
  • Replace reused passwords as each account is added.
  • Review weak, old, and exposed credentials using built-in reports.
