Passwork Password Manager

Passwork is a self-hosted password and secrets manager for businesses, developed by Passwork Europe S.L. in Barcelona, Spain. The company began in Finland, moved its headquarters to Spain, and is remote-first, founder-owned and bootstrapped.

The product offers role-based and group-based access control, audit logs with SIEM export over syslog, password security analysis, and a secrets manager with CLI, Python library, Docker and Kubernetes support. Clients use browser extensions, mobile and desktop apps. Deployment is on-premises or via Passwork Cloud, and an MSP programme exists. Named customers include Deutsche Post, Orange and Komatsu.

• Access control: Role-based and group-based permissions with audit logs.
• Self-hosting: Install via PowerShell or Docker, with clustered deployment for larger setups.
• Offline mode: Read-only access to cached records on desktop and mobile apps from version 7.7.
• Security analysis: Password strength analysis, generator and password history.
• Secrets manager: CLI, Python library, Docker and Kubernetes support.
• Directory and SSO: Active Directory, LDAP, Azure AD and SAML SSO on the Advanced plan.

A Vietnamese bank or insurer can host Passwork on-premises and integrate it with Active Directory. An IT outsourcing company can share project credentials by team and export audit logs to a SIEM. A factory IT team can use offline mode for emergency access to critical passwords.

Standard plan is listed at 3 EUR per user per month and Advanced at 4.50 EUR, with a one-month free trial and no credit card. Self-hosting keeps data inside the company network. The company reports ISO 27001 certification and HackerOne penetration testing. A lifetime licence option exists.

Organisations with data-residency or sovereignty requirements increasingly prefer self-hosted credential management over multi-tenant cloud vaults. Vietnamese banks, government units and manufacturers that keep systems on-premises fit this demand, and an MSP programme supports IT service resellers.

Registered as Passwork Europe S.L. in Barcelona; originally founded in Finland. Fully founder-owned and bootstrapped, remote-first with staff across Europe, Latin America and Asia. Version 7.6 (April 2026) added service accounts.
