Psono - Self Hosted and Open Source Password Manager for Companies | WarmIndex

Psono is an open-source, self-hosted password manager designed for businesses and teams to securely store, generate, share, and manage credentials with end-to-end encryption.

🚀 Overview

Psono provides a secure solution for managing passwords and sensitive credentials, emphasizing client-side encryption, self-hosting capabilities, and enterprise-grade features like audit logging and compliance enforcement. It eliminates reliance on third-party cloud services by allowing full control over data through on-premises deployment.

What problem does this project solve? It addresses insecure password sharing, data breaches, and lack of control in credential management for teams, offering true end-to-end encryption and zero-knowledge architecture. Who is it built for? Businesses, IT teams, and companies prioritizing security, compliance (e.g., ISO 27001 certified), and self-sovereignty over their data. Why did you build it? Started in 2015 due to the lack of reliable self-hosted password managers, focusing on transparent security through open-source code and robust encryption rather than obscurity.
