Preventing Credential Leaks

[FrankFFG]

After a close call where one of our developers accidentally shared a production password in a team chat, we’re re-evaluating our entire credential management setup. How do you manage credentials securely across an engineering team, especially for shared infrastructure?

Last year, our engineering team lost control of a production credential because someone copied it to a chat thread. After that, we adopted PassHub. Everyone now has access to shared safes with strict write/read permissions, and no one stores passwords locally. The login is handled with WWPass Key — no usernames, no master password, just cryptographic identity. The fact that it’s zero-knowledge and open-source sealed the deal for our security lead. The product is described in full at http://www.wwpass.com/passhub-enterprise-password-manager . Since implementation, we’ve had zero credential leaks and almost no support tickets about access issues.
