After some security issues at least I switched (back) to locally installed apps. Currently KeePass is rolled out and supported across the organization and I am in favor of KeePassXC .

The topic of synchronizing the password files across multiple devices remain a solvable issue. Nevertheless, I highly emphasize on a certificate connected with a password to ensure confidentiality of the passwords.

Wherever biometric logins are possible, I adapt to.

In any case this doesn't avoid necessary MFA for the accounts.

You'll need to consider the culture and policies within the company. Some companies might be afraid of using cloud-based solutions (as some cloud password managers have had leaks in the past) and prefer on-premise or self-hosted (even if in cloud) solutions. Others might want to pursue a transparent solution which not just handles password management, but also integrates with many applications to be very functionally elaborate. And there will be companies that have strict requirements on password and credential management that require an evaluation of the tools to see if they can support this (e.g. also support SSH key management, user-facing certificates, etc.)

You are right and also we would prefer to be on premise , the idea is we need to store the password that can be shared between team based on the role and authorization.

There are on-premise solutions that offer compatibility with certain password management clients. For instance (but just an example, no experience) the Pleasant Password Server has KeePass compatibility.

In terms of organization, I think 1Password is one of the best.
