Zoho Vault Alternative: OneckPass for Businesses and Families
Zoho Vault is good for those already using Zoho, but limited outside that ecosystem. No desktop, no passkeys, no family plan. Discover why OneckPass is the most complete alternative in platforms and use cases.
Zoho Vault Alternative: OneckPass for Businesses and Families
Zoho Vault occupies a unique space in the password manager market: it's the most affordable for business use, with prices starting at US$ 0.90/user/month, and is part of an ecosystem of over 45 products. If you work in a company that uses Zoho CRM, Zoho Mail or other products in the suite, the Vault is a natural addition.
But what happens when you don't use the Zoho ecosystem? Or when you need a password manager that also works for your personal life and your family? Or when you need a native desktop app?
It's in these scenarios that Zoho Vault's limitations become apparent, and it's exactly where OneckPass positions itself as an alternative.
Zoho Vault's Limitations Outside the Ecosystem
Zoho Vault was designed as a piece within a larger ecosystem. In isolation, some gaps become evident:
1. No desktop application
Zoho Vault has no desktop app for any operating system: not macOS, not Windows, not Linux. You depend exclusively on the browser extension or the web interface.
For many users, this is acceptable. But for professionals who work with applications outside the browser (development IDEs, desktop email clients, design tools, communication apps like Slack desktop or Zoom), the absence of universal autofill is a real limitation in daily use.
2. No family plan
Zoho Vault does not offer a family plan. If you want to protect your family members' passwords with a single subscription, you need to look for another product. This is particularly frustrating if you already use Zoho Vault at work and would like to standardize.
3. No passkeys
In 2026, passkeys are becoming the standard for passwordless authentication. Major companies like Google, Apple and Microsoft already support passkeys in their services. Zoho Vault does not offer passkey support, which may become an increasing limitation.
4. Excessive B2B focus
Zoho Vault's interface and flows were designed for IT administrators and corporate teams. For an individual user who simply wants to manage personal passwords, the experience can feel complex and unnecessarily corporate.
5. Zoho ecosystem dependency
Zoho Vault's greatest differentiator (integration with 45+ Zoho products) is also its greatest risk. If your company decides to migrate to another productivity suite, the transition involves not just the password manager, but potentially dozens of interconnected tools.
OneckPass: The Complete Alternative
OneckPass was designed to work in all scenarios: personal, family and business use, without depending on any external ecosystem.
Native Desktop for All Platforms
While Zoho Vault depends on the browser, OneckPass offers a native desktop app for macOS and Windows, built with Tauri 2. This means:
- Universal autofill: fill credentials in any application, not just the browser
- Global keyboard shortcut: access your passwords instantly from anywhere
- Native performance: runs directly on the operating system
- Independent operation: doesn't depend on the browser being open
For technology teams that work with terminals, IDEs, CI/CD tools and other desktop applications, universal autofill is a concrete productivity gain.

Family Plan: Protect Who Matters
OneckPass Family allows up to 6 people to share a single subscription for R$ 19.90/month or R$ 199/year. Each member has their own private vaults, but the family can share common vaults for streaming passwords, bank accounts, insurance and other shared services.
Features included in the Family plan:
- 6 users with individual vaults
- 5GB shared storage
- Shared vaults between members
- Emergency contacts
- Sync across all devices
- All platforms (Web, Chrome, Firefox, Mobile, Desktop)
Zoho Vault offers nothing equivalent. If protecting your family is important, this is a fundamental difference.
Emergency Contacts
What happens to your passwords if something unexpected happens to you? It's an uncomfortable question, but an essential one.
OneckPass allows you to configure emergency contacts: trusted people who can request access to your data. You set a waiting period (for example, 7 days). If you don't reject the request within that timeframe, access is granted.
Real scenarios where this matters:
- Banking and investment account credentials
- Health plan and life insurance access
- Essential family service passwords
- Social media credentials for emergency communication
Zoho Vault does not offer emergency access.
Modern Encryption with Argon2id
OneckPass uses AES-256-GCM with Argon2id for key derivation. Argon2id is the winner of the Password Hashing Competition (2015) and is recommended by OWASP as the ideal standard for master password protection.
Zoho Vault does not publicly disclose which key derivation function it uses, making direct technical comparison difficult. For users who value transparency about security details, this is a relevant consideration.
Breach Monitoring
OneckPass Premium includes breach monitoring: you receive alerts when your credentials appear in leaked databases. With billions of records exposed globally, this feature helps identify and change compromised passwords before they are exploited.
Zoho Vault does not offer native dark web monitoring.
Direct Feature Comparison
| Feature | OneckPass | Zoho Vault |
|---|---|---|
| Native desktop app | macOS and Windows | No |
| Family plan | 6 users | No |
| Emergency contacts | Yes | No |
| Passkeys | On roadmap | No |
| Breach monitoring | Yes (Premium) | No |
| Time-limited access | No | Yes |
| Approval workflows | No | Yes |
| Item types | Login, Card, Note, Identity | Login, Note, Custom |
| KDF | Argon2id | Not disclosed |
| Certifications | - | SOC2, HIPAA |
| Ecosystem | Independent | 45+ Zoho products |
| BRL Pricing | Yes | No |
| PIX/Boleto | Yes | No |
Pricing: The Fair Comparison
For personal and family use
| Plan | OneckPass | Zoho Vault |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 50 items, 2 vaults, TOTP, sync | Unlimited (passwords and devices) |
| Premium | R$ 9.90/month or R$ 99/year | N/A |
| Family | R$ 19.90/month or R$ 199/year (6 users) | Not offered |
For personal use, Zoho Vault's free plan is generous (unlimited). However, without a native desktop, family plan or emergency contacts, the experience is incomplete for many users.
For business use
| Plan | OneckPass | Zoho Vault |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | R$ 19.90/user/month (Teams) | ~R$ 5.22/user/month (Standard) |
| Professional | R$ 29.90/user/month (Business) | ~R$ 26.10/user/month (Professional) |
| Enterprise | Upon request | ~R$ 40.60/user/month |
Zoho Vault Standard is objectively the cheapest on the B2B market. If absolute price is the only criterion, it's hard to compete. However, OneckPass offers BRL pricing with PIX or boleto payment, eliminating IOF and exchange rate fees that make Zoho Vault more expensive for Brazilian companies.
On the Professional plan (comparable to OneckPass Business), prices are close when including IOF and fees: Zoho ~R$ 28+ vs OneckPass R$ 29.90 in clean BRL.

How to Migrate from Zoho Vault to OneckPass
Migration is simple and quick:
- Export your data from Zoho Vault (Settings > Export)
- Create your account on OneckPass
- Import the file using the import function
- Install on the platforms you use (including native desktop)

Conclusion
Zoho Vault is a solid product for its niche: B2B password management within the Zoho ecosystem. If you already live in that ecosystem, the Vault is a logical and affordable addition.
Outside the Zoho ecosystem, however, its limitations become clear. Without a desktop app, family plan, emergency contacts, passkeys or breach monitoring, Zoho Vault leaves important gaps for those who need a complete solution.
OneckPass fills these gaps with a product that works in all scenarios: at work, at home and with your family. With a native desktop app, Argon2id encryption, BRL pricing and Portuguese support, it's the most balanced alternative for the Brazilian market.
Digital security doesn't need to be fragmented across multiple products. With OneckPass, you solve everything in one place.
One password manager for every area of your life. Create your free account on OneckPass and discover what it's like to have native desktop, a family plan and modern encryption in a single product. No commitment, no credit card.
