Plan the rollout of a password manager for a team of [TEAM_SIZE]. How passwords are shared today (spreadsheet, chat, sticky notes, memory): [CURRENT_PRACTICE]. Systems that matter most: [CRITICAL_SYSTEMS]. Budget: [BUDGET]. Write a four-week plan with weekly goals. Week one: inventory the shared accounts and decide owners. Week two: set up the manager, vaults and sharing rules, and test recovery. Week three: migrate accounts in priority order, changing each password as it moves. Week four: retire the old method and run a check. Include a decision table for vault structure, an emergency access plan for when the administrator is unavailable, a one-page user guide, and answers to the five objections people usually raise. Add multi-factor sign-in guidance in general terms and list the questions to ask a vendor about encryption, audit logs and export. Never ask me to paste real passwords. Add a worked inventory sheet with five invented accounts (shared social media, accounting software, domain registrar, cloud storage, payroll portal) showing owner, who needs access, vault, sensitivity and migration week, then explain the order chosen. Provide the text of a one-page user guide in plain language covering installing, creating the master passphrase, saving a login, sharing a login, and what to do if the phone is lost. Add an administrator checklist for the recovery test in week two: confirm that a second administrator can regain access, and record how long it takes. End with a measure for week four (percentage of shared accounts migrated, number of weak or reused passwords remaining) and a ninety-day review date. Finish with a short list of the accounts that must never be shared in a vault by link or chat, and the alternative for each, such as named users with individual sign-ins. Treat this as blue-team work. Skip exploit details and attacker playbooks, and focus on controls, evidence and fixes I can verify.

Team of 12. Week 1: inventory shared accounts (bank portal, social media, supplier sites) and owners. Week 2: set up vaults (Finance, Marketing, Admin), test recovery with a spare device. Week 3: migrate in priority order; change each password as it moves. Week 4: retire the spreadsheet; spot-check. Vault table: Finance (2 people), Marketing (4), Admin (all). Emergency access: two administrators; a sealed recovery key in the safe. Objections: "It's one more thing to remember." Answer: you remember one passphrase. Vendor questions: encryption, audit logs, export. Never share real passwords in messages.
