Passbolt

Passbolt is an open source password manager specifically designed for teams and organizations, offering industry-leading security through end-to-end encryption and granular access controls. Built with a focus on collaboration, Passbolt enables secure password sharing with fine-grained permissions, real-time notifications, and comprehensive audit trails. The platform uses JSON API architecture and interoperable OpenPGP cryptography, ensuring each password is individually encrypted with unique user-generated private keys rather than relying solely on master passwords. This approach provides superior security against brute force attacks and ensures that compromise of one password does not affect others. Passbolt offers three deployment options: Community Edition (free self-hosted), Business Edition (self-hosted with premium features), and Cloud Edition (hosted in EU). Key features include native mobile and desktop applications, browser extensions for Chromium-based browsers and Firefox, TOTP generation, automated credential workflows, LDAP integration, and extensive API support for automation. Recent developments include $8M in seed funding (January 2025), enhanced mobile applications with biometric authentication and NFC Yubikey support, and planned enterprise features targeting Privileged Access Management (PAM) markets. The platform is particularly popular among privacy-conscious organizations and technical teams requiring complete control over their credential management infrastructure.
