Hello Dave,
Thanks for providing me with an update.
So, I can confirm that we do least privileged access to the vaults, as this is always recommended, but our financial auditors really do like to have some kind of reference on why a password has been used/seen.
Its always useful for internal auditing as well as there is a detailed track of what the passwords have been used for.
Kind Regards,

From the Business version admin perspective I can tell you that you can run reports on it (at least up to 12 months) on what whom did to which passwords - if you are an (eligible) admin you can use the three dots on a password and there will be a link to a report there.
As for 'comment before usage' I guess I can understand the requirement, but your co-workers could view this as 'annoying' and fill in things like 'because' of 'doing work'. Knowing that they are just audited afterwards might be a better option though when something does arise it might be hard to recall why you viewed customer X's password on januari of last year. (So comments would be better).
Unfortunately as far as I've looked it up now one needs specific privileges to view the audit reports (e.g. it's not something tied in with vault-admin (or is it 1P_Dave and did I just misinterpret) - on my primary business account I'm vault-admin + some other privileges but not owner or security admin (so I can't properly determine myself now).
