How do you share passwords between people with keepass?
3 comments

We use Dropbox. We all memorise the master password, then have the Keepass database in a shared Dropbox directory we all have access to.
Got it. Yeah we did that for a bit, but it became apparent soon enough that we actually needed different access levels and keeping track of three or four different databases & passwords just didn't seem practical.
How do you make sure you don't overwrite people's saves?

Surely this can't work for a larger organisation?

Looks like it can reconcile this automatically.

Probably better used with a filesystem that has strong guarantees though.

Yeah you get a popup if somebody changes the database while you have it open
Google drive seems to work fine here. I believe there's also a plugin for it rather than save to the folder and deal with the rare save conflicts.

(This with 2 factor passphrase and key file, btw)

I've done this in a team in the past and we just put the encrypted keepass database in a private github repo. It mostly works out fine, the only pain in the butt is everyone needs to ensure that they pull down their repo and make sure its all up to date before they add anything to it.
