Passbolt

Passbolt is a team-focused password manager designed to securely store and share credentials across an organization. It provides shared vaults with fine-grained permissions, a web interface plus browser extensions, and strong cryptography built around OpenPGP.

Key Features

• End-to-end encryption using OpenPGP (GPG) keys, with encryption/decryption performed client-side via the browser extension
• Shared password folders/vaults for teams with granular access controls (e.g., read, write, owner)
• User and group management for organizing access at scale
• Audit logs and activity tracking for governance and incident investigation
• Password and passphrase generation and secure sharing workflows
• Integrations and automation via a REST API
• Supports common enterprise deployment patterns (reverse proxy, TLS, backups) and multiple install options (packages/containers)

Use Cases

• Share infrastructure and service credentials (SSH, databases, cloud consoles) across DevOps/SRE teams
• Manage access for agencies/consultancies working with multiple clients and rotating staff
• Centralize operational credentials with auditable access for security and compliance needs

Limitations and Considerations

• Best experience requires the Passbolt browser extension (core cryptographic operations rely on it)
• Mobile app capabilities may be more limited than desktop/browser workflows depending on the edition and platform

Passbolt is well-suited for organizations that need controlled credential sharing rather than a purely personal vault. Its OpenPGP-based model, combined with group permissions and auditing, makes it a strong fit for operational teams and security-conscious environments.
