Web agencies have many people working on lots of different projects (web design, SEO, content creation, social media marketing) for different clients. Project sensitive data like CMS passwords, FTP access credentials, Twitter/Facebook users is normally shared between these companies and their clients.

These companies manage thousands of passwords, codes, access credentials and sensitive data for hundreds of customers. All this critical information must be shared among different technicians of the company (who are normally on the road or on the customers premises), as well as by their customers.

Dedicated in-house IT departments have one to many people working on them, usually with the help of external service providers like hosting companies, it support companies, and the like. They all collaborate on lots of projects with sensitive data (server passwords, pincodes, …).

Solo web workers rarely work alone. Besides their clients, they also collaboratewith other freelancers that complement them with other skills. So, a typical website project, for instance, may be shared by an SEO, a web designer, a programmer, a social media marketer, and of course, the client. All the password data associated with a project must be shared among all the people involved.
