At work we use "password safe" to share common passwords like service
accounts, shared vendor accounts, and various other credentials that are
not unique to a member. It's kind of a kludge, and of course windoze
only, so I have to use vm to access it. quite annoying.
I've considered pushing to use keepass instead, as I've used this as
well for a good 6 years under linux. Only problem is it's only a file
db to be accessed, which makes anyone not on a shared network resource
accessing it difficult. Also sadly, even the "official" version
iterated to keepass2, a really crap c#/mono application that barely
works under linux, and not without frustrations, but older 1.x format
with keepassx works great.
I have since migrated to LastPass, even paying for the service because
I've found it to be more valuable than the $12 a year personally, and
their "enterprise version" can have shared access permissions. Perhaps
the consumer version can be coaxed to do this too, but I've not had
necessity to try. The android integration with dolphin browser (plugin)
makes it easy on any platform, mobile or desktop for consistent access
means.
Secure shared access for me is a random large/complex string that I note
as who I've given it to, and only as long as needed before changing it.
I don't remember passwords, preferring the ambiguity that if I can
remember it, likely others can brute-force it, or torture it out of me.
Of course any service like lastpass inside the US, the NSA would simply
subpoena and force to give unilateral access to my account anyway (much
as they can/do anyone, thank your politicians) at that point, so really
confidentiality is all a perception regardless as long as anything is
shared externally.
