That means if a team has to share a list of passwords, they all have to know the same master password for the password safe. The real solution to me is something like "gpg", where each user has their own private key and you can encrypt a file with several public keys, so that any one of the keys can decrypt it. However, "gpg" works better on a Unix console type of environment, I don't know of good front-ends for it, specially on Windows. PGP is an option, it's commercial now though, the freeware version is not available anymore. Filipe
