It features a single sign-on, biometric login and multi-factor authentication, a seamless organizational system, detailed reports, role-based access, and unlimited password storage.

The plugin for Chrome. It helps us a lot. The plugin could be better though.
nothing in particular. It would be nice to have more features for the chrome plugin.
To many passwords for too many people. I am the head of IT in a small startup (25 people). Before we used Zoho Vault, almost every day I had to search for accounts and passwords for other people.
It's free for personal use, which I like very much. I have never needed anything beyond the free version hence it's perfect for me. The free version is limited to a one person account only. If you pay for the service you'll get access to the team-based version which I'm sure can be very helpful for companies and organizations.
This isn't specific to Zoho Vault, but for all online password managers. I do feel a bit ill at ease knowing that my passwords are stored someone else server, far far away in a foreign country, online on the web. Sure, the passwords are encrypted. When you login to Zoho Vault you'll also have to unlock the encryption as well, and there's also the possibility for two-factor authentication. So my passwords should be secure. But still, I do feel ill at ease knowing they are "out there". Because of this, I tend to not save my most precious passwords on Zoho Vault.
I have many many accounts on many many servers, websites, shops, vendors etc. It's easy to forget a password, and even more easy to forget you actually had an account on a specific website or server. No more forgetting with Zoho Vault.
There is a two-factor authentication service which provides more security and reliability to your secured records. You've the option to access your records from any browser you want. You can share any record you have with users and you can also transfer login details. Zoho gives you the option to use a free version or subscribe to the paid version in order to get more features. There is an offline access feature which enables you to access your data offline without an internet connection. You can export your data to a CSV file and you can import your records too. You can setup a password access request where the users can raise a request to see a specific record then you give him/her an approval to access it. The password generator is very good where you can generate a new random password anytime you need and it provides a strong password for your security. Zoho has a mobile application for Android and iOS.
The browser extensions are available only for Firefox and Chrome where this provides some limitations for many users who use any browser other than these browsers. You can't import your data using any file type where you only have the option to import using a standard CSV file or LastPass CSV file or Passpack CSV file plus more types. There is not a multi-user feature for the free version which is available only with a subscription plan. Your can store/save the credentials for a specific website or more but the problem is about the handling of these websites where Zoho works great with the standard login websites (One Page for Login). With multi-pages login, the system doesn't work well. It also can't store links longer then 250 characters where some links (Like Amazon for example) could be more then 250 characters.
Benefits are great and very useful where you can share and transfer login details with your employees or your family as well. The system is easy to use and you can add as many records as you need. Highly secured with many security options.

Best Features are the rich possibilites to configure each entry. You can create templates for different types of "secrets" and I like the One Click Login-Button.
The mobile web version is not easy to use and could be mutch better. There is also no native Windows Mobile or Windows 10 Universal App. The way you have to Login and unlock the plugin in Chrome could be easier and I would use Zoho Vault even more if I could stay logged in and "unlocked" all day.
We store and share all Logins we need to do our job. We have several hundred logins and without a tool like Zoho Vault the management of this logins would be very difficult. The main benefit for us is the possibility to be able to share the logins with my co workers. This is mutch more secure than store the Passwords in some text files or even on paper. We also benefit from the possibility to access the passwords on the way.
My experience with password managers and two-factor authentication has only been used by myself for around six months. That being said, the benefits and greater security and peace of mind that come with such a system have been invaluable to me, as a blogger, and tech user, and gives me the freedom to carry out my daily web-based tasks with precision and accuracy. ZoHo Vault provides a a nice scalable system, whether you are an individual, such as myself or a company, with multiple users and passwords to keep track of, daily. I love having a way to save all of my passwords into the cloud, so if my PC goes down, I still have a way to get into my accounts, online.
I wish that ZoHo Vault had a better password generator, with the ability to make passwords with certain criteria.
I am writing a tech blog, that allows me to highlight how companies and the disabled can come together to use technology to improve and interface the lives of those affected by illness with the rest of the world.
The main feature of this product is the ease of use. It is really simple to use it.
I would change the interface, maybe it should appear to be a strong tool, not something dynamic like everything looks like nowadays.
I was moving my business to mobile tools and this tool allowed me to secure my passwords also for Android devices.
It's a very straigh forward app. You will learn to use it within 5 minutes and the prices are so so cheap when you compare it with other password management apps. If money is an issue, you can use their forever free version, it also has most of the features that you will use on a daily basis.
The only thing missing is password sharing in the free version. If they added password sharing in the free version, it would have been the best password manager in the market.
Zoho Vault is a password manager app, which helps you create strong passwords and store them securely. I have thousands of accounts and before Zoho Vault I used to use to forget my passwords all the time and had to reset them. After Zoho Vault, all my passwords are stored in one location for me to access.
Central locations for my hundreds of online accounts and available from any device.
Cant think of one other than Android app could be improved some.
Solved password fatigue.
I'm able to store my password in one place
If I'm not able to access my vault then I'm locked out from all my saved passwords
I'm able to keep all my password in one place, so lesser chances of forgetting my password
The password manager is the best of all.
Nothing at all. All the thing in here is very good.
I can get the password from anywhere is the best
one place to store all password information
sometimes when editing secret name it defaults to the default username rather than the actual username or id for the actual secret name
access any time from anywhere for passwords and sensitive info
The ability to make custom secret types and templates. This way you customize to a device, website, etc that has multiple passwords, questions, etc. Other password managers such as lastpass lack this feature and seem to be designed around website passwords and make you use clear text notes fields to store additional information. For example, Cisco devices typically have a username/password plus an enable password. Using a custom secret template, you can have a text field for the username, password field for the password, and password field for the enable password. This way, the passwords are securely hidden if you need to copy it while other people are around.
You cannot make sub chambers, which makes organizing passwords sloppy. For example, let's say you need to store passwords for 10 clients and have 3 categories of passwords (servers, infrastructure, web sites). You can create a chamber for each company but end up with a huge list of passwords under each. The alternative is to create a naming scheme like "client1 - servers", "client1 - infrastructure", "client1 - websites" to better organize the passwords but you still end up with a huge list of chambers to go through. This would be a simple yet VERY useful improvment
I'm able to securely access passwords on client sites from my laptop or mobile while working on their systems. This is way safer than doing something like storing passwords in clear text in a spreadsheet, etc.
I really like that it's a convenient and very secure place to store important information such as passwords. It's important to note that in order to make this as effective as possible, you will need to download the extension.
I wish that you didn't have to download the extension for it to work best. I like keeping space on my computer and my browser as open as possible.
It's a very convenient and secure place for us to store our important info. It's nice that we don't have to each remember the password since one person can put that info in Zoho Vault and everyone else can access it.
Easy to manage many passwords and users.
Adding users takes too much time. Cannot specify the amount of time for each password to expire
Sharing passwords with many people is easier.
I like the ability to share certain passwords with my team
It really annoys me that auto logon doesn't work all the time
Having multiple secure passwords which can be shared with my team securely
The ability to store multiple passwords in one space especially across users
There is not much ability for organization. I would like to be able to create folders
Storing account username and password information for different employees and applications
I like the shared passwords (secrets) feature that allows individuals to share commonly used passwords with other members of the team. In my organization we have many joint accounts so having a feature like this can be invaluable.
I don't know if there is anything about Vault that i dislike other than I often find the Zoho web interface to be confusing as some times it takes me to informational pages rather than the product home page.
Everyone can use a password vault but not all vaults are created equal. The ability to share passwords to common applications is not always in all products, especially at this price point, so that has definitely helped.
