I'm building Jam (https://jam.link/) to tackle this problem. You can think of it as a consumer password manager built specifically for sharing.

It's fully frontend encrypted, so Jam doesn't know what logins you save and it can't read your secret credentials. The cryptography is based on 1Password's design (https://1password.com/files/1Password-White-Paper.pdf). I'd be happy to share details if people are curious.

Jam's focus on sharing comes through, right now, in the UI and default behavior. For example, when you save a new login, your friends in the system can proactively request access. To visually illustrate that: If I save a new login to Jam (like so https://i.imgur.com/syM2bep.png) then my friend gets a notification about that account, can see what it is (https://i.imgur.com/ZUKwfBB.png) and can request access (https://i.imgur.com/3SCcBm5.png).

It's in private beta right now, it's free to use, and I'm looking for as much feedback as possible. I'm happy to add people from HN right away, just email me at john at jam dot link
