Such a shame to see it go. A fantastic password manager to use. Amazingly slick interface, cross-platform support, intuitive UI. We would have happily paid for it (we can't afford $200/month, but maybe $20 or $40 - we're a small team of 5 people using it).

Big thanks to the Mitro team for keeping it alive until now. I'm still hopeful that this imminent closure will prompt someone to pick up the open-source project and keep it alive for longer (but understand that it's not an easy task).

Honestly, you'd pay $4 to $8 per month per user for a password manager?
If the average developer's time is worth $60 an hour, then it would only have to save 4 - 8 minutes per month for it to be worth it, or 10 seconds a day.
At SeatGeek, we use Lastpass. I don't personally know what it costs - yes, I'm a lazy operations person - but it seems like it might be $24 per person at our size[1].

I personally use 1Password and if it had group password sharing, I would be lobbying to switch every day of the fucking week. The lastpass interface is confusing, slow, and ugly (I've beens spoiled by the spit and polish we've built). $8 per person compared to what we may be paying now seems very small, so it's probably not unreasonable (to be fair, enterprise pricing is hella weird).

I think it's $24/user/year actually, but we'd be happy to pay more, because Mitro offers a superior solution for us. I hate the Lastpass UI and the sharing options aren't nearly as refined. 1Password doesn't work on Linux, and requires installing a local app as far as I remember.

Wouldn't the multiple vault feature work group password sharing?

Isn't it $24 for a year of subscription?
Thats what I get for not reading :(

Is/was Mitro $8 per person per year?
