How to Install TeamPass on Cloud9 IDE

Password managers are one of the most important applications/software nowadays where nearly everything is online; from banking and shopping to documents and CAD creation. So you need to have a strong and unique password for every service and that would have been impossible if it wasn’t for password managers which create and store strong unique passwords. TeamPass the password manager we’re going to cover in this post doesn’t only solve the problem of password creation and storage for personal usage but for teams too, as multiple team members might need access to some passwords but not all passwords.

This post will present a step by step guide on how to install TeamPass for free on Cloud9 for development purposes, please note that it’s not advisable to install a Production version of TeamPass on Cloud9 as the free tier isn’t designed for that intended purpose. Now, and without further ado let’s dive into the tutorial.
