Passwork has launched Passwork 7.4, introducing new restrictive settings for User vaults alongside multiple enhancements designed to strengthen enterprise security and improve usability. As organizations face increasing password-related breach risks, the latest update enables administrators to enforce stricter controls over credential sharing and distribution. Consequently, businesses can better protect sensitive data while maintaining compliance with evolving security regulations.
At the core of the update is the new restrictive settings framework for User vaults. With this capability, administrators can centrally define policies that reduce the likelihood of data leaks, improve password distribution oversight, and prevent unauthorized credential sharing. Furthermore, these restrictions automatically apply across all existing and newly created User vaults, ensuring consistent enforcement across the organization without requiring manual configuration.

The new release introduces several key administrative controls. For instance, organizations can now restrict adding users or groups, sending passwords, creating password links, and generating password shortcuts directly from User vaults. As a result, security teams gain tighter control over how credentials move across internal systems and user environments.
In addition to these controls, Passwork 7.4 delivers measurable security benefits. By preventing password sending and link creation from personal vaults, the platform significantly lowers the risk of accidental or malicious data exposure. Moreover, centralized policy management enables security leaders to enforce standards across the entire platform instead of relying on individual user compliance. At the same time, stronger distribution controls eliminate unmonitored password sharing, which remains a major enterprise security concern.
Beyond security, Passwork has also focused on improving user experience. The update introduces smoother transitions when switching interface appearance, ensuring a more seamless workflow. Additionally, new visual indicators highlight mandatory email confirmations, helping users complete security steps more efficiently. The security dashboard now supports dynamic list loading for user filters, allowing administrators to navigate large environments more quickly.

The update also includes several functional fixes and technical improvements. Passwork resolved email confirmation issues related to unsaved master passwords and improved password search and display within inbox views. The platform now supports more reliable XML imports for KeePass files that include numeric folder names. Minor UI and localization updates further refine the overall experience.
Importantly, Passwork 7.4 directly addresses several major enterprise security challenges. For example, employees can still store credentials in personal vaults, but they cannot share them externally. Instead, all sharing must occur through monitored Company vaults. Similarly, temporary password links for external contractors can only be generated through Company vaults, where administrators control expiration and access permissions. Additionally, the update prevents employees from duplicating corporate credentials into personal vaults or creating shortcuts, ensuring organizations maintain a single, accurate source of credential truth.
“With Passwork 7.4, we are addressing critical security gaps that enterprises face in password management,” said Alex Muntyan, CEO of Passwork. “These updates reflect our commitment to providing organizations with the tools they need to maintain complete control over their sensitive data while simplifying compliance and enhancing operational efficiency.”
Overall, Passwork 7.4 strengthens enterprise password governance while balancing usability and operational efficiency. As cyber threats continue to target credential ecosystems, centralized policy enforcement and controlled password distribution will play an increasingly critical role in enterprise security strategies.
