Want to hear something funny? We used a password manager before password managers were cool. Before cloud solutions. The initial IT manager got fired and the new IT Manager dumped that password manager because he wanted to remove everything the previous IT Manager bought. He came up with the public folders solution as a replacement and at the time it seemed good. He was a smart guy and knew how to be convincing, so it must be a good idea, right?
Budget was tight and convincing the big mucky mucks that spreadsheets and public folders were bad was a hard sell. Finally a colleague suffered a very expensive ransomware attack and slowly people started listening to IT again.
