The solo bottleneck
Solo ops still share passwords in chat — until something leaks.
This guide is part of a free series: 50 useful automations for people running the business alone. Download the printable PDF anytime: Free PDF — Rotate shared secrets without a spreadsheet of doom.
Stack that stays small
Password manager business plan + documented owners.
Tools named here: 1Password, Bitwarden, Vault. Prefer official docs and native features before adding another SaaS.
Ship the automation
Move every business login into 1Password/Bitwarden.
Use shared vaults per client or per function — not one mega vault spam.
Enable 2FA everywhere; store OTP in the manager.
Quarterly: rotate hosting, DNS, and payment passwords.
Keep it honest
Your future contractor should inherit vaults, not DMs.
Automations should reduce decisions and errors — not hide broken processes. If a Zap fails weekly, fix the process or delete the Zap.
