!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] (or [Password Manager]) is any software [application] or hardware that helps a user store and organize [Credentials] ([Passwords], [Secret-keys], etc).
[{$pagename}] hopefully store [Credentials] using [encryption], requiring the user to create a master [password]: a single, ideally very strong [password] which grants the user access to their entire [Credential] [database].
[{$pagename}] may store [Credentials] on the user's [Device] (called offline password managers), whereas others store [Credentials] in the provider's [Cloud Data Store] (often called online password managers). However offline password managers also offer [Data Store|DataStore] in the user's own [Cloud Service Provider] rather than the provider's cloud.
[{$pagename}] is to securely store large collections of [Credentials], many provide additional features such as [Form Fill Process] and [password] or [Credential] generation.
[{$pagename}] may be a [Keystore].
Many [LDAP] server implementations are is also a [{$pagename}].
[Cloud Service Providers] typically have some implementation of a [{$pagename}] often called a [Key Management Service].
