![]() ![]() Note: It is by design that this app does not use any existing key vaults that you may already have in your subscription. you will be presented with the main menu: Once the permission is assigned, everything is ready to go. This is done by searching Azure AD using a search string and select an user account from the search result list. Once the key vault is created, you will need to assign full access to an Azure AD account. You can choose an existing resource group, or create a new resource group in your azure region of your choice When running it for the first time, you will need to create a new Key Vault from the menu. Then the app will prompt you to use the current Azure subscription that’s set in the context, or select another subscription from the list. You have the option to keep using the current account or sign in to Azure using another account. When it is launched, it will detect if you are currently Signed in to Azure and ask you if you want to keep using the same account if you are currently signed in. This module requires AzureRm.Profile, AzureRm.Resources and AzureRm.KeyVault modules, which you can also find from the PowerShell Gallery. Once it is installed, you can launch the app either using the full name Invoke-AzureKeyVaultPasswordRepository, or use one of the 2 shorter aliases ( ipr and Start-PasswordRepo). If you are running PowerShell version 5 and later, you can install this module using an one-liner: I named this module AzureKeyVaultPasswordRepo and it is now available on both PowerShell Gallery and GitHub: In order to simplify the process of deploying and using this app, I wrapped it in a PowerShell module. This app allows you to create, manage Azure Key Vault and use it as your personal (or team’s) password repository. I spent few hours last night and today, developed a PowerShell CLI menu based app based on few existing scripts I wrote in the past. AzureKeyVaultPasswordRepo PowerShell Module I have certainly used it a lot over the last few months and managed to integrate it with many solutions that I have built. On the other hand, Azure Key Vault has drawn a lot of attention since it was released and it is become really popular. Many engineers and consultants I have met still store passwords in clear text. Also, based on my personal experience, there are still many organisations that don’t have a centralised password repositories. I understand not everyone is willing to spend money on password repository solutions (in my case, USD $12 per year for the LastPass Premium account and USD $50 + shipping for a Yubikey Neo from Amazon). But this time, in order to be more secure and being able to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), I have purchased a premium account and also purchased a YubiKey Neo for MFA. Few months ago, my friend Alex Verkinderen finally convinced me to start using LastPass again. I have been hesitate to use LastPass over the last few years and stayed with KeePass because of the LastPass data breach back in 2015. Out of these products, only LastPass is cloud based. Over the past decade, I have used several password management applications such as Password Safe, KeePass and LastPass. Using Azure Key Vault as the Password Repository For You and Your Team
