Yeah, some company I.T. policies ban password managers, which is extremely dumb… But also like, what’s there to do about it? Not my decision and we still gotta work.
I think I remember at some point putting my passwords inside an encrypted 7zip archive that itself had a password. No idea how secure that truly was, but it made me feel better.
They might allow the browser’s built in manager. Good chance if they’re a Microsoft shill, edge’s built in would be better than nothing…although it’s Microsoft so a text file might be better.
IT probably bans them because they can’t access the data. Keepass files are some kind of container, you can store any file with in it. Great when you want save a txt doc with 2fa recovery codes or something and also not a bad way to send a payload that’s impossible to scan. “I’m going on vacation, please use this keypass file for vendor XYZ, open the file within for the vendors contact info”.
