passbolt Reviews

The best part of the passbolt is that we can save all our credentials on it and we can access it online via browser. Each password is encrypted which is totaly safe to keep your credentials away from all threats.

The thing I dont like about passbolt is that I am not able to login the application on any other browser if I have logged on one browser. User will need to setup its passbolt again on other browser.

the passbolt helps alot, I do not need to remember all my credentials passbolt remebers them all and i am able to share my credentials with any one by just simply clicking on the share button. I am able to export or import all my credentials with just one click.

When looking for a password sharing solution in our environment, we came across Passbolt. After running a trial, we determined that this suited our needs well. Passbolt makes it easy to share passwords and other information either by user or by group. Setting up new users is also done with ease.

While built on Linux, I feel that an OVA deployment would be a much simpler deployment solution for those getting started, especially those who may not be well versed in Linux deployments.

Sharing passwords securely between teammates and departments is a must. Being in infrastructure, there are multiple occasions where we have requests to create managed service accounts. Being able to share these credentials with other teammates is crucial. Compared to how things were handled before having a dedicated password manager? I am not real sure how we even survived!

Cercavo da tempo un software web-based o una webapp in grado di, supportando la condivisione multi utente e l'accesso HTTPS, memorizzare e condividere le password e le credenziali relative ai login su siti, servizi, apparati, dispositivi, caselle mail e via dicendo.

Tramite Passbolt, installato gratuitamente e configurato in pochi passi su una macchina Ubuntu Linux 18.04 riesco a gestire in modo ottimale, professionale e sicuro le credenziali appartenenti agli utenti e ai team della mia azienda, è veramente veloce nella memorizzazione, sicuro nel login tramite estensione del browser e la funzionalità di autocompilazione consente di eseguire il login in modo automatico permettendomi così di avere password lunghe difficili da ricordare ma sicure da usare.

Un singolo utente può essere usato da un solo PC per via dell'estensione di Chrome e Firefox che autentica l'utente e consente la sessione tramite OpenPGP, purtroppo trovo limitante dover creare più utenti appartenenti alla stessa persona in modo da supportare l'uso di passbolt e la visione delle password da più dispositivi (es. laptop e pc fisso o laptop e smartphone).

Consiglio di configurare sin da subito tutte le opzioni che riguardano il backup e la memorizzazione sicura del database contenente le password e le chiavi private usate per la cifratura, senza questi requisiti sarà impossibile recuperare le credenziali in caso di disastro o perdita involontaria.

Ho fornito in modo semplice e a costo zero, oltre che in modalità alta affidabilità accesso sicuro ad un password manager interno esposto sulla sola LAN così da evitare che gli utenti salvassero le loro credenziali su dispositivi a rischio o peggio su fogli di carta o annotazioni varie condivise per mano, questo ha consentito di incrementare la sicurezza interna e la cultura della sicurezza e confidenzialità tra i dipendenti e colleghi.

Passbolt costs 0 dollars and can do what most of the basic paid solutions are capable of. You also receive peace of mind with an on-premise solution vs. a cloud solution.

Although the developers continue to update the solution, it falls short with a few basic features. Account delegation, recovery, and creation could all be revamped. We have since moved on from Passbolt, but I do believe there were plenty of features on the roadmap that would have made the product substantially better.

Centralized credential management. Passbolt allowed our users to randomize passwords and store information securely.

Easy of use and the Chrome extension. Great tool for teams as you can create groups of keys and add people to those groups. Easy to share between team members

Lacks a high-level view by team and individual which often compromises finding quickly the right information. The organization of the information in the web app. Occasionally the excessive validation of the user.

nothing to add

Keeping long and difficult passwords to memorize safe.

Sharing passwords with a team

It is very easy to use and simple but still does the job.

Sometimes the search feature does not function properly.

It's a great tool, very easy to use.

It helps to manage security and passwords, sharing with specific people.

Easy deployment even on virtualized environment and powerful sharing with users/teams features

It can't be used on mobile devices because is not possible to download and install on Firefox or Chrome mobile the required passbolt extension to sign-in

Migrate all password from keypass on local machine (with no backup capabilities) to cloud environment

Easy to setup and quite easy to use also for non technical people. The setup took only a few minutes while the first login attempt was a little more complicated but once understood I was able to put down an easy to use step by step guide for my colleagues who were then able to use it immediately.

The first login process is a little too complicated to understand at first glance. Once understood how it works it was then easy to replicate

It's a good product. Does what it says it will do, probably nothing more surely nothing less. Easy to setup in house.

Most password related issues like users forgetting their password or improved team working experience between users who need to share some passwords. No more emails to delete or pieces of paper. All neat in one place.

I'd definitely say that the biggest advantage that Passbolt has is the fact that it's open-source and has a solid free self-hosted version. Other than that, it has a handy Chrome extension and certainly brings a better level of security if your DevOps team is implementing it. It also has built-in anti-phishing features.

The web app and the browser extension feel too clunky. Several tasks are really hard to accomplish, even simpler things like editing the sharing options can be a pain. Also, I've had the browser extension's autofill feature fail too many times.

If your biggest priority is a secure, self-hosted option, then probably Passsbolt is your best bet. But be aware of its limitations.

Our teams use Passbolt to safely store and share passwords. Its main benefit for us has been the level of security and control that it provides.

We can run it on our own server and don't rely on critical information being "somewhere in the cloud". Apart from that it's easier to use then having, for example, a shared KeePass file that everyone has access to on a mapped drive. Together with the browser-addon and it's auto-fill in the latest version it's just a convenient way for us to store credentials and share them with the colleagues that need them.

It does one job and it does it well! Being not only open source but also audited for security is an added bonus because it makes sure the code is actually what it claims to be and not some hidden magic-box that you have to trust blindly.

While it's fine that enterprise features like AD-Integration etc are only available in the non-free version some smaller QoL stuff could really get unlocked in the community edition, mainly the option to use either folders or tags to organize credentials because no matter the size of the team, once you use a password manager daily it fills up quickly and a better way to organize / filter them than the included search is needed.

If all you need is secure storage for passwords on your own infrastructe, give the community edition a try!

If you want one user to have access on multiple machines to his account, you have to 'cheat' a ittle bit: Create multiple accounts, for example account.name+laptop@company.tld account.name+workstation@company.tld account.name+phone@company.tld and group them. Because the extension and private key is linked to one machine you have to use such workarounds to be able to use PB on multiple machines at the same time.

Organizing credentials and managing access to them is crucial not just for an IT business but for everyone out there. While other solutions may have some more comfort-features passbolt solves those problems even in the community / free edition so a small company like us won't break the bank and can still benefit from having critical data stored on our own servers and never leaving the company.
