About
Teampass is an open-source credential vault you run yourself. No account to create, no company behind the curtain holding your data — just a PHP/MySQL application on your own server, with folder-level access control, per-user encryption keys and a full audit trail.
It has been built and maintained since 2009, driven by what real teams actually run into: who should see which credential, how to prove it to an auditor, and how to stop passwords living in chat threads and spreadsheets.

- Secure Send for clients and contractors
- Browser extension for day-to-day autofill
🏛️ Enterprise & Regulated
Prove your access controls, don't just claim them.
- Access recertification campaigns with immutable decisions
- Compliance reports and evidence export
- LDAP/AD with nested groups, OAuth2 SSO
- Data classification and ownership
Security
Encryption you can describe to an auditor
Secrets are encrypted with AES-256-GCM using random nonces and per-secret salts, under 256-bit object keys. The private key that unlocks them is derived from your password with PBKDF2-SHA256 at 600 000 iterations.
- Authenticated encryption — tampering is detected, not silently decrypted - Per-user key distribution — every user holds their own RSA-wrapped copy of each object key, so removing an account actually revokes access instead of just hiding a button
- Lazy migration — format upgrades happen on access, with no maintenance window
Transparency over silence
A password manager that reports no vulnerabilities is not a password manager that has none.
Findings are triaged, fixed and published as GitHub Security Advisories with CVE identifiers.
Found a vulnerability? Please report it privately through GitHub Security Advisories — never in a public issue.
Features
- Folders — unlimited nesting, per-folder password complexity rules

- Password renewal — expiry policies and reminders
- Micro-learning — in-app nudges instead of a yearly slideshow
- Authentication — local, LDAP/AD with nested groups, OAuth2 / SSO
- Multi-factor: TOTP (Google Authenticator), Duo Security, YubiKey, AGSES

Star history
Support Teampass
Teampass is free, GPL-3.0, and has been maintained by one person since 2009. There is no company behind it — which is exactly the point, and also why support matters.
What sponsorship funds
- Security work — triaging reports, fixing them, and publishing advisories with CVEs
- Releases — testing, upgrade paths, and keeping older installations able to move forward
- Documentation — the guides at documentation.teampass.net
- Translations — coordinating 25 languages
- Infrastructure — Docker images, CI, and the project websites
Become a sponsor
The goal is 100 monthly sponsors. Every tier helps, and small recurring amounts help most because they make the work predictable.
