Hey everyone, I'm in need of a password vault that meets specific criteria. I want a solution that can automatically expire and delete entries after a set period, like 14 days. The accounts in question are all temporary and shared, so historical data isn't necessary. Several groups of users will need the ability to create these accounts, and all users should have read access to them. The fields required are just Name, Email, and Password. I initially thought about using Secret Server since we have it, but it lacks any delete options, which is crucial since we expect to create dozens of these accounts each week. Any suggestions?

If you're open to web solutions, Keeper could be a good option. On the other hand, if you prefer something more local, you can check out KeePass, although keep in mind that KeePass is more geared towards individual users and lacks auto-delete functionality.
It sounds like you're tackling an unusual problem here. You're trying to set up short-lived identities without tying them to individuals, which can raise security issues. You could potentially create a custom solution using Hashicorp Vault, but I recommend rethinking your workflow to find a more straightforward approach.
You might want to check out PasswordPusher. It’s a GitHub project that allows you to send passwords securely. However, make sure it fits your needs since it focuses more on sharing rather than retrieving passwords. You’ll want to confirm if your users can log in to look up existing passwords.
I took a look at it as well, and it seems primarily about sending passwords, not retrieving them. If that's the case, it might not work for your requirements.
I think KeePass does focus on single users, and I remember it doesn’t have any auto-deletion features either. Not sure about Keeper, though.
