Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.4
GPA, above 1 of the 17 other password managers we grade
Passpack is a password manager sold to teams and businesses rather than individuals. It runs in the browser with a Chrome extension and an iPhone app, encrypts each user's account with a zero-knowledge model, and shares passwords with individuals or teams. The Business plan adds single sign-on, multiple administrators, Active Directory, advanced reporting and an API.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Passpack, taken from its own pages and our grades.
It's a team tool, so someone sets up the account, the teams and the sharing first.
- 1
Best for small teams sharing passwords on a budget
The catch is reach, with apps only for iPhone and Chrome, so Android and desktop users work in a browser.
- 2
Paid plans start at $1.66 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: $1.66 per user / month, paid annually (Teams, up to 20 people).
- 3
You can try it first
28-day free trial, no credit card required
- 4
It runs on 2 platforms
Web and iOS, with a browser extension too.
- 5
Zero-knowledge encryption
Data is encrypted on the device with each user's own Packing Key before it reaches Passpack's servers, which Passpack says it cannot decrypt.
- 6
Sharing with people and teams
Share passwords and notes with individuals or with teams, transfer ownership of records, and send a one-time share to someone outside the account.
- 7
Built-in TOTP codes
Stores time-based one-time codes beside the logins they protect, alongside password generation, labels, custom notes and password history.
- 8
A 2.4 GPA, above 1 of 17
That is against the other password managers we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Passpack you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for small teams sharing passwords on a budget
Passpack is a password manager for teams, not for one person: everyone gets their own encrypted account and you share logins with people or groups. Teams is cheap at $1.66 a user a month paid yearly. The catch is reach, with apps only for iPhone and Chrome, so Android and desktop users work in a browser.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | Teams is $1.66 a user a month paid yearly, inside the cheap end of this category, for up to 20 people with unlimited passwords and sharing. Single sign-on, Active Directory, the API and the admin controls need Business at $4.50, the dear end. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan and no plan for individuals, but a 28-day free trial with no credit card. That's long enough to move a small team over before anyone pays. |
| Features | C | Zero-knowledge encryption, sharing with people and teams, one-time shares with outsiders, built-in TOTP codes and password history. The gap the listing names is autofill: the only extension is for Chrome, with Firefox and Edge coming soon, and there's no Android app. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. It's a team tool, so someone sets up the account, the teams and the sharing first. Autofill only works in Chrome and on iPhone; anywhere else you're in the web app. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and a Chrome extension, with sign-in through Google, Microsoft or Active Directory, YubiKey support and an API on Business. No desktop or Android app, and Firefox and Edge are still to come. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Passpack is for
- Great if you run a small team and want shared passwords for $1.66 a head a month
- Handy when you look after logins for clients, like a managed service provider
- Good for businesses that need single sign-on and several admins, on Business
Who it is not for
- Not for you if you want a password manager just for yourself, as there's no personal plan
- Skip it if your team lives in Firefox, Edge or on Android, which have no extension or app yet
Good to know
Good for
- Small teams that want a low per-user price for shared passwords
- Businesses that need single sign-on and several administrators
- Managed service providers holding client credentials
Worth knowing
- There is no free plan and no plan for individuals; Teams is limited to 20 people.
- Apps are listed only for iPhone and Chrome, with Firefox and Edge extensions coming soon; on Android and desktops Passpack runs in a web browser.
- Single sign-on, Active Directory, the API and advanced reporting need the Business plan, whose monthly price is not published.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Passpack you would be making a password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 16 of the 17 other password managers grade higher. It costs $19.92 a year.
What you could not
- A password vault, the last thing anyone should make for themselves.
- A real app for iOS. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Google Chrome, Active Directory and Google among them, and has an API.
- End-to-end encryption done properly.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and audit logs.
What this rests on. Passpack’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
