Be honest: is there a spreadsheet somewhere in your company called "Passwords"? You're not alone. On August 13th, Megan Newnham, Security Consultant at Passwd, hosted our first webinar on how to move from spreadsheets to proper password management, without leaving Google Workspace. Here's a quick recap, with the full recording...
There's a version of knowledge management that looks great in productivity blogs and falls apart by week three. You've probably tried it. The Second Brain concept, capturing everything, linking ideas, keeping contact records fresh, is compelling in theory. In practice, it costs roughly an hour a day to maintain properly....
Claude Cowork automates everyday tasks such as organizing files, drafting reports, and processing data. But many workflows slow down the moment a credential is required. Logging into a service, calling an authenticated API, or retrieving credentials for a teammate often means switching to a password manager and manually copying data....
Claude Code is fast. You describe a task, it writes code, runs commands, deploys infrastructure. But the moment it needs a credential — a database password, an API key, or a TOTP code — you're forced to stop, open your password manager, and manually retrieve it. passwd-mcp removes that interruption....

The skill file gives your agent conversational vault access with redacted values. Setup: authenticate, add the provider to gateway.config.json5, add the skill, restart. OpenClaw 2026.3.2 introduced full...
A password manager CLI is a command-line tool that gives you access to your team's password vault directly from the terminal. Instead of switching to a browser or app to look up credentials, you run a command and get the result instantly.Passwd ships two CLIs — one for AI agents...
TL;DR MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external tools through a unified interface. Build one MCP server, it works with every MCP-compatible client. But be deliberate about what tools return — anything in the context window can be extracted via prompt injection....
TL;DR AI agents need credentials but should never see the raw values. passwd-mcp gives agents vault access via MCP — browse secrets, view metadata (redacted), generate TOTP codes. When the agent also needs to use credentials, the path depends on the platform: Cowork's plugin bundles the agent CLI for exec...

The breach, reportedly triggered by a single guessed password, led to catastrophic consequences, including the loss of over 700 jobs. According to administrators and cybersecurity...
