Who Should Use Zoho Vault?
Is Zoho Vault Safe?
Vault encrypts your passwords and gives admins control over who can see and share each one, with an audit trail of who used what. It also supports emergency access when someone is unavailable. As with any password manager, turn on multi-factor authentication for every user.
Zoho Vault vs. Other Password Managers
If your team already works in Zoho, Vault's advantage is that it lives in the same account, uses the same user list, and connects to apps like Projects and Desk. If your company runs mainly on another platform, a standalone manager you already use may be simpler.
