## What the models said for it

- "Managers like Bitwarden or KeePass allow their code to be audited by the public" (GLM 4.7 FlashX, Password managers)

## And against it

- "Basic password managers repurposed for machine secrets (e.g., early/open-source KeePass or generic ones without enterprise features): Often lack fine-grained access controls" (Grok 4.20, Secrets)
- "Why to Avoid: True PAM must go beyond password sharing... basic credential managers (like older versions of KeePass)" (Qwen 3.7 Flash, PAM)
- "using them for business teams introduces serious operational risks" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Password managers)
- "password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, or KeePass are built for human interaction" (Gemini 3.5 Flash, Secrets)
