Mitro was a password manager for individuals and teams that securely saves users' logins, and allows users to log in and share access.

Mitro Labs announced that the Mitro service shut down on October 6, 2015.[1]

History

Mitro was founded in 2012 by Vijay Pandurangan, Evan Jones, and Adam Hilss.

On July 31, 2014 the Mitro team announced that they will join Twitter, and at the same time, they release the source code for Mitro on GitHub as free software under GPL.[2][3]

The Mitro team have announced that they will be shutting down the Mitro service with the following timeline:[1]

The Mitro team explained the reason for shutting down the service was that the cost and administrative burden to maintain the service in their spare time with their own money had become too much. Given that they could not properly manage a service that people rely on for their security, they needed to stop running it.[1]

Former customers are encouraged to move to Passopolis, and independent project that uses the Mitro code. Approximately ten months ago on October 5, Mitro was officially terminated by Twitter.[4][5][6] Mitro has informed users that they can use another company to secure their passwords, known as Passopolis, which uses the same familiar blueprint as Mitro.
