Stop hard-coding passwords. OpenBao mints dynamic, short-lived credentials on demand — every app, pipeline and person gets a unique secret that expires on its own and is fully audited.
Start the live demo →OpenBao is an open-source secrets-management platform — the community successor to HashiCorp Vault. It kills secret sprawl: instead of passwords scattered across config files, env vars, wikis and CI systems, every secret lives in one hardened, encrypted store with a single control plane for issuing, rotating and revoking them.
Credentials are generated on request and destroyed when their short lease expires — nothing long-lived to steal or leak.
Every read is authenticated, authorized by policy, and written to a tamper-evident audit log. Who got what, and when.
Root and static credentials rotate on a schedule — no more passwords that haven't changed in three years.
Databases, SSH, PKI, cloud, encryption keys — all issued and governed centrally, by identity, not by shared secrets.
OpenBao exposes capabilities as pluggable secrets engines. This demo showcases five, with dynamic database credentials as the live headliner.
OpenBao creates a brand-new Postgres user per request, with a lease of just minutes. We connect with it live to prove it works.
Live nowSign short-lived SSH certificates instead of managing
authorized_keys across a fleet.
Issue TLS certificates on demand, automatically renewed via ACME — your own internal certificate authority.
Encryption and signing as a service — keys never leave OpenBao; apps send data to be signed or encrypted.
Pipelines authenticate by identity and fetch secrets just-in-time, so nothing sensitive is stored in the pipeline config.
