Previous solution
Scattered notes & personal secret managers
Orbitant operates at the intersection of engineering, innovation, and business. Rather than building software for its own sake, the company focuses on delivering measurable operational impact and long-term value, with technical decisions anchored in business KPIs, scalable architecture, and sustainable partnerships. As the team grew and client work expanded, managing credentials consistently across projects became increasingly important.
Challenges
Before adopting Passwd, credentials were handled inconsistently across the company.
Passwords stored in local notes or documents
Important credentials were kept in personal notes and documents, making them hard to manage and secure.
Credentials shared in plain text
Passwords were sometimes shared via Slack or email in plain text, increasing the risk of exposure.
Production passwords duplicated
Production credentials were duplicated across multiple locations, creating uncertainty about where the source of truth lived.
Unclear offboarding access
During offboarding, it was difficult to be sure which access still existed and where credentials might still be stored.
Solution
After evaluating Bitwarden, LastPass, and 1Password, Orbitant selected Passwd primarily for:
Fair pricing
Clear value without unnecessary overhead, aligned with a pragmatic, impact-focused way of working.
Google Workspace integration
Access tied directly to Google Workspace groups and team structure, avoiding custom user management.
Simple user experience
A straightforward interface with almost no learning curve, making adoption easy for engineers and stakeholders.
Centralized credential storage
Passwords, notes, and payment details stored in one secure place instead of spread across personal tools.
Adoption was immediate—after recording a short how-to video, the team began using Passwd without difficulty.
Implementation
Deployment was straightforward. By linking credentials to Google Workspace groups, access management became automatic. Engineers assigned to a client instantly receive relevant credentials, infrastructure secrets are restricted to responsible maintainers, and payment-related information is securely shared with appropriate roles. The result is a system that works quietly in the background, reducing risk without slowing work.
Results
With Passwd, Orbitant centralized access management, reduced risk from scattered credentials, and simplified daily workflows. The team can now focus on delivering measurable impact, confident that credential management is handled reliably and securely.
“Passwd is simple, straightforward, and a real pain-killer, not just a vitamin.”
