Partly fits

Password Manager (eusonlito)partial · 68

Self-hosted team-capable solution but geographically focused and aimed at self-hosters.

Won’t cover: The project is presented for Spanish-speaking self-hosters and may be narrower than your team's needs.

KeePass - Password Managerpartial · 60

Trusted local-first manager widely used by individuals and some teams, but primarily geared to personal use.

Won’t cover: Designed mainly for individual/local use rather than a full team/shared vault experience with centralized access controls.

Password Manager (2FAS Pass)partial · 60

Local-first design gives full data control but it is not focused on cloud-synced team sharing.

Won’t cover: Built for users who want local control rather than cloud-synced team vaults, so it lacks easy team sharing out of the box.

pasejopartial · 55

CLI-based tool targeted at teams, but the project notes the underlying encryption library is not intended for production.

Won’t cover: The project warns it is not suitable for production use due to its encryption dependency, making it risky for a team replacing spreadsheets.
