In a May 2017 survey, we learned that our Digital Marketing customers save an average of 120 minutes when onboarding new employees and clients by using TeamPassword.
Onboarding is an area where our Groups Feature shines. We&rsquo;ve made setup as intuitive and simple as possible so your staff will have fast access to everything they need to start billing hours.
<ul>
<li>Create individual groups for each new client, granting access only to the staff working directly on those accounts.</li>
<li>Create specific labels for each group since you likely manage multiple logins for the same service across several clients.</li>
</ul>
TeamPassword also eliminates the need for handholding of new employees.
<ul>
<li>Add the employee name and email to your company&rsquo;s TeamPassword account and click on the groups they will need to access.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Share passwords with a subset of users, preventing anyone who doesn't need access from seeing any information on that login.</li>
<li>If hiring one employee means eliminating another, the administrator can remove that person from their former groups without concern for the safety of the information they had been able to access.</li>

Are you often frustrated by the functional downfalls of your current password manager? Read on to learn why TeamPassword is the most comprehensive and easy to use password manager in the game.
A lot of people find TeamPassword because they&rsquo;re looking for an alternative to LastPass or DashLane. Curiously, that&rsquo;s how our company was started in the first place.
My colleagues and I needed a password manager that was specifically for teams. When we first started back in 2013, there weren't many options for team-oriented password managers, so having a shared solution was somewhat novel. 1password was only for individuals, and LastPass had a clunky enterprise product. So, we built a product that allowed companies to share passwords the way we as a product team were doing it internally, but with more security and convenience.
There were four driving criteria here:
<ul>
<li>We wanted to organize internal teams based on the access each employee needed, clearly see who had access to what, and easily grant or revoke that access as needed. TeamPassword is especially useful for agencies managing client accounts, digital marketers juggling all their apps, and small to medium-sized businesses looking to improve departmental efficiency and streamline collaboration with contractors.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote>&ldquo;As a user of both TeamPassword and LastPass, I really appreciate the ease with which TeamPassword allows me to control who can access certain systems and who can&rsquo;t. As a SaaS provider, we use a lot of other SaaS applications to provide great experiences for our customers. TeamPassword gives us the comfort to share access to those applications within our org, knowing we can easily remove users when needed.&rdquo; &nbsp;&ndash; Tom H., VP Engineering, Network For Good</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>We needed the ability to be logged into many teams at once. If you manage two different company accounts in LastPass you&rsquo;ll always have to log out and back in to your other account if you need something over there. In TeamPassword, you can be logged into one account and have access to many teams. This feature is especially relevant if you&rsquo;re an agency with a lot of different client accounts.</li>
<li>We didn&rsquo;t want to autofill credentials because we manage several different logins for the same sites and the autofill features integral to other password managers inevitably cause mixups. Most of our users are managing multiple logins for each service. So rather than auto-filling your credentials every time you navigate to Twitter, we simply organize all your Twitter logins at the top of the browser extension list so that you can easily select which account you want to use. This eliminates the hassle of having to delete auto-filled usernames and passwords when the software guesses the wrong login.</li>
<li>We needed it to be tip-top secure yet simple enough for our non-programmer coworkers to use. Other password managers can be intimidating and time-consuming to set up, especially for the &ldquo;non-techy&rdquo; people out there. We&rsquo;ve tried to make TeamPassword&rsquo;s setup as intuitive and simple as possible &mdash; the average user should be up and running in 30 minutes or less! &nbsp;&ldquo;Easy to onboard new clients and new vendors/contractors, gives us a reliable/credible/secure platform we can assure our clients is safe. &rdquo; &ndash; Melissa D., Founder &amp; CEO, Grapevine Marketing &nbsp;</li>
</ul>
TeamPassword is equipped with all the features you need to keep tasks, colleagues, and clients organized and easily accessible as you seamlessly transition between tasks, removing password roadblocks in just one click.
We&rsquo;re constantly engaging customers for feedback in order to build new features that address their specific needs and positively impact workflow and &mdash; while keeping TeamPassword uncomplicated and relevant to all types of businesses.

As a small business in an evolving digital world, we know that you are trying hard to keep your critical data secure especially if you are using&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/09/05/steps-using-password-manager-for-your-small-business/">TeamPassword to keep your logins and passwords safe</a>&nbsp;from hackers and cyber attacks. However, not properly removing old users can leave you vulnerable.
Removing a user from your team completely removes their access to any shared logins, but they can still log into their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/07/26/teampassword-control-panel-how-it-works/">TeamPassword account</a>. Once the user logs in after being removed from the team, they will not have access to any shared logins just any 'private' logins they had on their account.
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/AJfaKxEQBOPAtxm9DBPg" alt="tp-delete-user-screen.png" />
If you want to make sure they can't log in at all, not even to see private passwords, please follow the steps below.
First, you will need to use the following link to send an email to the user you wish to remove: &nbsp;<a href="https://app.teampassword.com/dashboard#forgot_password">https://app.teampassword.com/dashboard#forgot_password</a>
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/qBpV9FhT9mq3Zf2N0RnX" alt="undefined" />
Enter in the email and click on Request Account Archive.
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/2zTHnXCpQEK5eCgZdVMm" alt="undefined" />
Then gain access to that email and click the link to remove the account. If you do not have this email, you would need to create this email again temporarily to get to the email.
The above steps will archive the account and fully deny access to this user. If you have any issues, please reach out to support!

Not properly removing old users can leave you vulnerable. Removing a user from your team removes their access to any shared logins.

TeamPassword: How to Remove User Access

As a small business in an evolving digital world, we know that you are trying hard to keep your critical data secure especially if you are using TeamPassword to keep your logins and passwords safe from hackers and cyber attacks. However, not properly removing old users can leave you vulnerable. ...

TeamPassword was developed to solve a personal problem: An unorganized, outdated spreadsheet and too many sticky notes for any sane person to keep track of. My colleagues and I badly needed a better, more secure system to keep track of passwords and logins. We wanted an alternative to LastPass and DashLane. We wanted a password manager that would address the specific issues our team was facing: facilitate more efficient collaboration; safely and easily share passwords between colleagues, contractors, and internal teams. As we got deeper into development we uncovered more and more functionalities that had to be addressed. The evolution of this product has taken six years. And today, after joining forces with Jungle Disk&rsquo;s cybersecurity arsenal, TeamPassword continues to grow and adapt in order to meet the needs of our small business users.
These six important features were developed because of specific requests from our users, and more are on the way!
<h3 id="thegroupsfeature"><a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/08/03/teampassword-groups-feature/">The Groups Feature</a></h3>
The original idea for TeamPassword was built around the need to easily share passwords between team members. The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/08/03/teampassword-groups-feature/">Groups Feature</a>&nbsp;has been a defining function of our software since the very beginning. We created the feature to allow administrators to set up &ldquo;groups&rdquo; for the different departments in their company. Or, create client-specific groups to share access with the staff who work directly on that account.
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/sM13d7vTuGijorj3EMkR" alt="undefined" />
<h3 id="easieremployeeonboarding"><a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/08/24/teampassword-onboarding-new-employees/">Easier Employee Onboarding</a></h3>
Nearly 60 percent of TeamPassword users are agencies that manage tens or hundreds of client accounts. Another 30 percent are startups that are growing exponentially and hiring new employees on a weekly basis. We started getting complaints that admins needed a more efficient way to bulk add (or delete) users to relevant categories of logins. The improved process and functionality of the Groups Feature is a direct result of this feedback. Now, customers are saving an average of 120 minutes when onboarding new employees and clients. With just a few clicks, your new hire has all the login information they need to start contributing immediately.
<h3 id="browserextensions"><a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/08/09/teampassword-browser-extensions/">Browser Extensions</a></h3>
The first version of the Chrome extension launched at the end of October 2012. We got a flood of feedback from our developer friends who often use Chrome as well as Safari, and Firefox for their jobs. We quickly got to work building extensions for Safari and Firefox. Now&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/08/09/teampassword-browser-extensions/">our extensions</a>&nbsp;cover all three of the world&rsquo;s top browsers so that users can enjoy efficient access to all their accounts without ever leaving their favorite browser window. The extensions allow you to access TeamPassword without having to navigate to our website. Simply click the icon installed in the top-right corner of your browser, type in your master password, and you&rsquo;ll have immediate access to all your stored logins.
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/gKK4tVdCQAWuUqba0nH6" alt="tp-browser-position.png" />
<h3 id="googlesignin">Google Sign-In</h3>
In analyzing data from nearly 39,000 TeamPassword users, we noticed that an overwhelming amount of you (almost 80 percent) are using Google apps. This prompted us to create a Google Sign-In feature that allows you to access your TeamPassword account without having to type in your master password (provided you&rsquo;re already logged into your google account.) This automatic authentication saves users even more time by using Google&rsquo;s secure login system to verify your identity. Combined with our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/08/09/teampassword-browser-extensions/">browser extension</a>, this feature ensures your workflow is hurdle-free.
<h3 id="performancestandards">Performance Standards</h3>
When we first developed TeamPassword, we figured most businesses were using about 40-50 logins. We were confused when some of our bigger business clients told us that the system was running really slow. We never anticipated that the average user would manage 147 logins. Today, we regularly see companies storing over 300 unique passwords in their vault. Now we run all our performance tests against a 1500 password average so you&rsquo;ll never get slowed down again.
<h3 id="reorderlist">Re-order List</h3>
Since we know that most clients are managing nearly 150 logins, we realized it was highly likely that some of those accounts were being ignored. A customer requested to see which logins were most &lsquo;stale&rsquo; for security purposes, so we built a &ldquo;re-order&rdquo; list into the Groups feature that allows users to view apps in order of when they were added. The &ldquo;oldest first&rdquo; shows you which apps haven&rsquo;t been managed recently so that you can update passwords to keep them secure, and maintain accounts that have been left sitting for too long.
<h3 id="yourfeedbackisessentialtothegrowthofteampassword">Your feedback is essential to the growth of TeamPassword.</h3>
Our secure password manager, combined with Jungle Disk&rsquo;s network security, encrypted backup, and email archiving services provide small businesses with the protection, adaptability, and peace of mind they need to stay focused on the tasks at hand.
Our easy password manager is built to save you time. We will continue to develop new features &mdash; and improve existing ones &mdash; based on the needs of our customers. Your continued input will help us become the top password manager available. And we aim to be the best!

The average TeamPassword user is managing&nbsp;147 logins. That&rsquo;s 147&nbsp;usernames&nbsp;and 147&nbsp;passwords&nbsp;to remember. Let&rsquo;s be honest, that is simply impossible.

TeamPassword Browser Extensions Save You Even More Time

How many tabs do you currently have open in your browser? Are you constantly logging in and out of sites that you manage for several different clients? Always searching through spreadsheets and emails for those logins and passwords?  TeamPassword makes this easy!

Perhaps you can deduce from our name &mdash; we&rsquo;re all about teamwork. As everyone at Jungle Disk knows, teamwork is as essential to a successful business as network security and data backup.
The idea for TeamPassword was born out of necessity. In the start-up days of OrderUp, my colleagues and I were spending way too much time searching lengthy spreadsheets for login information. Productivity was constantly interrupted, and valuable time wasted. We&rsquo;d had enough. So we custom built a secure network to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/password-manager/">safely store all our passwords</a>&nbsp;and easily share them with other team members.
Since then, we&rsquo;ve been fine-tuning our technology to meet the evolving needs of our customers. The&nbsp;Groups Feature&nbsp;was one of the first features we built. It is one of the core functions of TeamPassword central to our user-experience.
In just one step, the Groups Feature allows us to:
<ol>
<li>Keep passwords organized.</li>
<li>Manage who has access to what.</li>
<li>Quickly bring new people to our team.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="the-groups-feature-is-perfect-for-businesses-that-need-to-grant-different-levels-of-access">The Groups feature is perfect for businesses that need to grant different levels of access.</h2>
Most businesses are broken into several departments. Let&rsquo;s use &ldquo;Taylor Marketing Services,&rdquo; for example. Taylor Marketing is a growing agency with over 35 clients. They have a Web Development team, Marketing team, PR team, Sales team, and Finance department. They desperately need a shared password manager because each of these departments, or &ldquo;groups,&rdquo; is made up of several employees who all need access to job-specific sites and apps. But not everyone in the company needs access to the payroll processor.
<blockquote>
&ldquo;The groups are the killer feature for us. Being able to have a collection of passwords for a single client and allow our contractors access to only those passwords (and the ability to kick &lsquo;em out if needed), is worth its weight in gold.&rdquo; - Travis G, Partner, Louder Than Ten
</blockquote>
<h2 id="grouping-allows-the-administrator-to-create-a-separate-group-for-each-client-to-keep-their-specific-account-logins-in-one-convenient-place">Grouping&nbsp;allows the administrator to create a separate group for each client to keep their specific account logins in one convenient place.</h2>
One thing that TeamPassword does that most other tools don&rsquo;t is that we allow you to have one TeamPassword account on many teams, so you create the new group for the client, add the client contact, and ask them to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jungledisk.com/blog/2018/07/26/teampassword-control-panel-how-it-works/">add their logins</a>. Then, add your team members to that new group. When your team logs in, they&rsquo;ll then see and be able to filter by all the groups that they&rsquo;re in.
This ensures team members always have the up-to-date information they need, and the client feels secure knowing that only the people directly involved with their project have access to their information. You can even have a group specific to your company that the client can&rsquo;t see to further organize logins that only your team should have access to.
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/MsnwjuBQCWjFW6H4WiiS" alt="undefined" />
<ul>
<li>Those in the finance department are the only ones with access to the accounting systems group.</li>
<li>The sales and marketing teams can access groups by client.</li>
<li>Everyone in the company has access the lunch ordering system, travel and expense system, and fantasy football league.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="grouping-makes-onboarding-simple">Grouping makes onboarding simple.</h2>
In a May 2017 survey, we learned that our customers are saving an average of 120 minutes when on-boarding new employees and clients by using TeamPassword. Guided on-boarding and simple functionality help you get new hires and clients up and running (and billable) within minutes.
Give new employees the access they need to start contributing immediately. Simply add their new company email address to send the TeamPassword invite and once they&rsquo;ve joined, it takes just a few clicks to add them to the groups they&rsquo;ll be working with.
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/FNm5lkfmQiC1FTa2Lk3C" alt="undefined" width="930" height="376" />
If someone leaves the company or gets transferred to a new department, the administrator simply removes that person from their former groups. No need to stress over the security of the information they had access to.
Bottom Line: The Groups feature encourages employee autonomy and streamlined collaboration while providing a secure way for the administrator to know exactly who has access to what.
<ul>
<li>That&rsquo;s password management at it&rsquo;s finest.</li>
<li>Improve organization</li>
<li>Maximize collaboration</li>
<li>Increase security</li>
<li>Refine processes</li>
<li>Simplify on-boarding/off-boarding</li>
</ul>

<h2>Secure Freelancer Workflows With TeamPassword</h2>
No matter how talented or reputable the freelancers and contractors you hire, your company must use secure workflows to protect your digital assets.
Freelancers often need access to shared accounts and tools. Using a <a href="https://app.teampassword.com/signup" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">password manager</a> is the first step to securing these accounts and platforms. You can also use a password manager to share credentials with employees, clients, and other stakeholders to ensure you never expose raw passwords via email, spreadsheets, chat apps, and other non-secure methods.
On the Enterprise plan, you can even <a href="https://teampassword.com/one-time-secret?navbar=onetimesecret" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">share a one-time password link</a>.&nbsp;
<a href="https://teampassword.com/" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">TeamPassword</a> lets you create groups to share access with only those who need it. When they're done, revoke access with a single click. No need to change passwords every time someone leaves the team.
If you do need to change a password, TeamPassword's built-in <a href="https://teampassword.com/password-generator" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">password generator</a> lets you create secure passwords between 12-32 characters using numbers, letters (uppercase/lowercase), and symbols.

In an increasingly digital world, we&rsquo;re switching more and more of our daily lives over to the Internet. While this brave new world is exciting and convenient, it&rsquo;s not without its problems.&nbsp;
The issue of unsafe passwords has been around for a while. But have you ever thought about where and how to store them?
Most of us have several passwords, and we&rsquo;re encouraged to never duplicate them. Some people simply write them all down on a piece of paper &mdash; which is fraught with danger. But others store their passwords electronically.
As you&rsquo;re about to find out, not all electronic systems of password storage are <a href="https://teampassword.com/blog/the-best-ways-to-store-passwords-2023" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">safe</a>. Here are five of the most dangerous ways to store your passwords.&nbsp;
But before we begin:

This advanced <a href="https://teampassword.com/blog/best-password-managers-for-teams" target="_blank" rel="follow noopener">password manager for teams</a> features a selection of security features, including password encryption and two-step verification.

<h2 id="email">1. Email</h2>
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/efPCc2QZQ7C0OT1KeoKe" alt="" width="655" height="88">
We've all been there: struggling to remember a new password and considering emailing it to ourselves for safekeeping. While it might seem convenient, emailing passwords is a terrible security practice with far-reaching consequences. Here's why:
<ul>
<li data-sourcepos="7:3-7:245">Unencrypted Transmission: Emails often travel in plain text, like postcards. Anyone with access to the data stream &ndash; hackers, scammers, or even compromised servers &ndash; could easily intercept the email and steal your password in its entirety.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="9:3-9:33">Multiple Vulnerable Points: Even if the email itself is encrypted, your password is exposed at several stages. It's stored on your device before sending, sits unencrypted on email servers during transit, and resides in your sent folder &ndash; all potential points of entry for attackers.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="11:3-11:248">Local Storage Risks: Many email platforms store data locally on your devices. If your computer, phone, or tablet is stolen or infected with malware, even deleted emails containing passwords might be recoverable, putting your accounts at risk.</li>
</ul>
The ease with which cybercriminals can exploit these vulnerabilities makes emailing passwords a high-stakes gamble. A stolen password could grant them access to your bank accounts, social media profiles, email itself, and more. The <a href="https://teampassword.com/blog/cybersecurity-complete-guide" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">damage can be immense</a>, so why risk it for a temporary convenience?

<h2 id="Documents">2. Online Documents</h2>
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/Hh6oH8AzTMSnQFUaPHR9" alt="" width="216" height="235">
A lot of people like the convenience of saving crucial information using online document systems such as Google Docs. But this is a bad idea for passwords, as these systems are designed for text &mdash; not sensitive data.
Yes, a password might protect your online document manager from unauthorized access. But what happens if that password is compromised? Many document software platforms don&rsquo;t offer encryption, two-step verification, or even the most basic security measures.&nbsp;
If you use online documents regularly, you&rsquo;re probably accessing your account on a regular basis &mdash; across several devices. What happens if you step away for a moment to buy a coffee, speak to a friend, or use the bathroom?
A criminal can access an unattended online document platform in seconds. And if this happens, it doesn't take a lot of effort to steal your unsafe passwords.&nbsp;
<h2 id="instantmessaging">3. Instant Messaging Service</h2>
Instant messaging (IM) services like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Snapchat offer a convenient way to communicate, but they are not designed for securely storing passwords. While some IM platforms offer end-to-end encryption for message content, they lack crucial security features necessary for password management.
People who store their passwords on these apps do so because they believe they&rsquo;re fully encrypted. While that&rsquo;s often the case, it&rsquo;s important to remember that instant messaging services are often left open and operating in the background.
Imagine someone picks up your phone while you&rsquo;re not paying attention. If you left your device unlocked, that person would be able to access your password in seconds.
Here's why storing passwords on IM apps is a security risk:
<ul data-sourcepos="9:1-9:155">
<li data-sourcepos="9:1-9:155">Accessibility on Unlocked Devices: IM apps are designed to run in the background on unlocked devices. This means anyone with physical access to your unlocked phone or computer could potentially view your unencrypted passwords.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="10:1-10:164">Accidental Sharing: A single inadvertent tap or screenshot could send your password to someone unintended, compromising the security of your online accounts.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="11:1-12:0">Limited Security Features: Unlike dedicated password managers, IM applications typically lack features like secure password generation, two-factor authentication, and strong encryption specifically designed to protect passwords.</li>
</ul>
Dedicated password management applications offer robust security features like encryption, secure storage, and auto-fill functionality for logins.
<h2 id="onlinenotetaker">4. Online Note-taker</h2>
While online note-taking applications like Apple Notes offer a convenient platform for managing everyday tasks and reminders, they are demonstrably unsuitable for storing sensitive information, particularly passwords. These platforms, designed for general purpose note-taking, lack the robust security features essential for safeguarding confidential credentials.
Here's why online note-taking apps pose a significant security risk for passwords:
<ul>
<li data-sourcepos="9:3-9:314">Absence of Multi-Factor Authentication: Unlike dedicated password managers, these applications typically do not offer multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification step beyond a simple password, significantly hindering unauthorized access attempts.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="11:3-11:322">Limited Encryption Capabilities: While some note-taking applications may offer basic encryption features, they often fall short of the robust encryption protocols employed by dedicated password management solutions. This weaker encryption leaves sensitive data vulnerable to potential decryption by malicious actors.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="13:3-13:97">Accessibility on Unlocked Devices: Online note-taking apps are designed for ease of use and accessibility. This ease of access translates to a vulnerability. If a user's device remains unlocked and unattended, a perpetrator would only need to access the specific application to view unencrypted passwords.</li>
</ul>
In a world of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, it is critical to prioritize robust security practices. Online note-taking applications simply do not provide the necessary safeguards for password management. Users are strongly advised to consider secure alternatives, such as dedicated password managers or offline password vaults, to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of their login credentials.
<h2 id="nonpasswordprotecteddevice">5. On a Non-Password-Protected Device</h2>
Of all the bad ideas for passwords, storing them on non-password-protected devices is about the worst. You might think that your tablet or laptop never leaves your side. But if your device is ever stolen, you&rsquo;ve given the criminals the easiest possible opportunity to access your saved passwords.&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;re determined to store passwords on a physical device &mdash; which is never a good idea &mdash; make sure the device password is a complex combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. And it should contain at least 12 characters.&nbsp;
<h2 data-sourcepos="7:1-7:6">Control Your Security and Choose Convenience with TeamPassword</h2>
<img src="https://cdn.buttercms.com/0gCOt5oQBCE1vxckmRZC" alt="The TeamPassword Extension for Chrome lets you sign into any account in seconds" width="828" height="466">
