PassMan allows you to organize your data into folders. For efficiency, we recommend that each department in your company have its own folder, such as Marketing, Finance, and IT Infrastructure. Access to these folders can be easily managed.

In the top right corner of your browser, upon successful installation, a PassMan icon will appear.
