## EN 304 618: Password Managers
Welcome. Here you will find the draft Standards for this vertical, as well as an issue tracker where you can submit comments, and discuss the standard.

## Caution
Exercising one of the **Principles of International Standardization – Openness –** and taking them to a different level, ETSI CYBER-EUSR conducted Open Consultations of the vertical standards in support of the Cyber-Resilience Act, at a much earlier stage than it is usual in the standardization world. 
In this context, please keep in mind that the standard drafts under Open Consultation at https://docbox.etsi.org/CYBER/CYBER/Open and https://labs.etsi.org/rep/stan4cra are interim drafts, which expectably will be subject to substantial changes before their target publication date in the second semester of 2026.

> [!important]
> ETSI CRA vertical standards v1.1.1 are being finalized and undergoing Public Enquiry via the National Standardization Organizations (NSO). Therefore, **starting from 16 April 2026, ETSI CYBER-EUSR may only be able to address your comments in a future revision of the standard**. To enable ETSI CYBER-EUSR to address your comments before the first publication of the standards, you should cumulatively submit to your NSO any comments submitted here from 16 April 2026 onwards. If you don't know how to do this, email us at cybersupport@etsi.org and we will guide you in the process.
