What is Password Vault Web Access?

Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) is a web-based interface that allows users to securely access and manage their passwords and other sensitive credentials stored within a centralized password vault. It provides a controlled and audited method for accessing systems and applications, often used in enterprise environments to improve security, compliance, and operational efficiency by enforcing strong password policies, managing privileged access, and reducing the risk of credential theft or misuse. Users authenticate to the PVWA to gain access to the passwords they need, rather than storing or managing them locally.
