Team password manager for Redmine
The Redmine Passwords Plugin is a team password manager right inside Redmine. You manage access data and passwords centrally and clearly in Redmine and share them easily and securely with your colleagues.
Who is it for?
For teams that already work with Redmine and share access data per project:
- Agencies: access to customer websites, hosting and tools, neatly separated per customer project.
- IT and operations: servers, network devices and business software in one place.
- Development teams: access to test, staging and production environments.
- Projects with customers: customers hand over access data securely instead of sending it by email.
Why in Redmine? The passwords live with the project and are linked to issues. The same roles and permissions apply as in the rest of Redmine. When someone joins or leaves the project, access changes automatically. You do not need a second tool with its own user management.
For personal passwords with automatic filling in the browser, a personal password manager remains the better choice.
Simple and secure to use.
Redmine’s proven encryption (AES-256-CBC) keeps your data safe. Redmine’s role-based permission and access management makes secure administration and sharing easy. A password generator that follows the rules of each category helps you create safe passwords. You copy password and username with one click.
Encryption method
For maximum compatibility with newer Redmine versions, the plugin uses Redmine’s own encryption. It requires a key (database_cipher_key) in the Redmine configuration. Once it is set, password and description of every new entry are stored encrypted in the database automatically, and existing entries are converted once by a script. You can change the key when needed: decrypt the passwords by script, set the new key and encrypt again. Redmine’s own encrypted fields are handled the same way (rake db:decrypt and db:encrypt). The encryption standard is the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256-CBC).
Password rules that think along
Every password belongs to a category, for example Server, Email or Customer access. The category defines what a good password is:
- Rules: minimum length, upper and lower case, digits and symbols. The generator follows them.
- Password strength: Redmine shows whether a password is weak, ok, strong or very strong, and points out on the detail page when an entry breaks the rules of its category.
- Maximum age: Per category you set how long a password is valid. The detail page then shows how many days it remains valid.
- Status: Every password is valid, to verify or invalid. Filters quickly find everything that needs renewing.
- History: Every change is recorded, without storing old passwords.
Good to know before you buy
- Secure login: Redmine offers two-factor login. That protects the passwords too.
- When someone leaves the team: Access ends with the project membership. The passwords stay in the project.
- Backup: The passwords are part of the normal Redmine backup. Back up the key as well. Without it, the backup cannot be read.
- Customers and partners: External people get a restricted role. They only see the passwords of their project. Private entries only if they are assigned to them.
- Export: A CSV or XLSX export can contain passwords in clear text. That is why it has its own role permission.
- What the plugin is not: no browser extension that fills in login forms. And no log of who viewed a password.
