I'm sure eventually they will figure a way to kill the XBOX, but one battle at a time...
Microsoft has announced that they will work with Harman Kardon to send a firmware update to all online Invoke speakers to disable Cortana and leave only Bluetooth functionality. Owners did not buy this speaker for simple Bluetooth functionality and do not want the smart assistant or wifi capability disabled in the speaker. Once disabled, owners will not be able to use wifi enabled technology like Spotify Connect or play music independently from a Bluetooth connected device.

I'm not brave enough, or deluded enough, to make that claim for my code. I'm all too aware that there are, uh, less than optimal sections of it, many flagged with comments like "Fix this later" or "There's got to be a better way, but this works for now", and some just left as unhappy surprises for whoever inherits my code when I retire in a few years (at least, I hope that's the case - I'd rather not "inherit" my own unhappy surprises!).

Don't do the update ... create a HK bubble.
They don't support my HK 4 channel / quadraphonic 8 track tape player anymore either.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've always used Keepass, and while it can be used by several people at the same time there's no ACL of any kind.
What we want is a password manager where we can share passwords with people on both department level and/or role level. As well as being able to share them manually.
Preferably integrated with active directory to make administration easier.
What's around, and what are the pros and cons with them?

We use LastPass [^] and I believe it does what you need.

Actually, let me do it. I feel very secure right now.
Send me all necessary credential (financial institutions in bold font, please!) and I'll manage.

He's kind of strict as sysadmins go, and his password restrictions are onerous but he's lovable just the same.

Am I missing something here, sharing passwords?
Isn't the whole purpose of a password that it is not shared?

It would give us the possibility to NOT send passwords over mail or other external or unencrypted services.
But also for external services where we have a single account for the company.

yes.
my wife and I share a netflix account. she holds the password and shares with me.
same applies to certain business accounts too. rare, but it does happen/is needed.

We use one to share service account passwords between developers and system admins. Service accounts are used in automation processes accessing AD and such.

Guy, I agree. The only possible implementation IMHO.
Slacker007 (reply below) shares a Netflix password with his wife. One day, the marriage is falling apart and one party subscribes to every single thing you can with that password, then leaves home just before the first bill comes, never to be seen again.
RandMan7557 (also reply below), shares passwords between devs & sysadmins. One day, the whole system is attacked because a digruntled staff member told his mate the hacker the password. Who's guilty? You'll never know.

LastPass has some business offerings. My understanding is that there is one central corporate vault, but an admin controls who gets access to what so yes, passwords in essence can be "shared".

I was searching for a password manager days ago...
I ended with Keepass as it's local and it does all I need after I backupped it's database into my NAS.
I was in doubt with Bitwarden which seems to be the new password manager out there...
Open source, free and paid options, you can host it into your own server via docker...
Worth checking it.
