Overview
Psono is a self-hosted, open-source password manager focused on team and enterprise use, with client-side end-to-end encryption. It supports secret sharing, granular access rights, file storage, SAML/OIDC SSO, and offers browser extensions and a CLI. The community edition is free while advanced enterprise features are paid.
Where it falls short of 1Password
- Many enterprise features (LDAP sync, advanced policies) require a paid Enterprise license
- Split into multiple repos (server, client, admin, fileserver) making full deployment more involved
- Smaller community and fewer integrations than mainstream commercial managers
- Mobile experience is weaker than 1Password/Dashlane
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
