Identity Management

Password Manager

Create, import, store, and protect user credentials locally on devices and centrally manage passwords with JumpCloud's Password Manager. Unlike most cloud-based password managers, the JumpCloud Password Manager only stores passwords & 2FA tokens locally on users’ devices, and syncs the vaults between those devices through advanced end-to-end encryption. No secrets are seen or stored in JumpCloud’s cloud-based infrastructure.

Password Manager is available as both a browser extension and mobile application.
