Manage passwords and secrets securely with an open-source platform for teams. Offers end-to-end encryption, granular sharing, and flexible hosting options.
Luxembourg open-source password manager built for teams and businesses.
Passbolt is a Luxembourg-based open-source password and secrets manager built for teams. Using end-to-end public-key encryption, private keys stay on user devices and never pass through the server — giving organisations provable security even if the host infrastructure is compromised.
Deploy via Docker, Kubernetes, or native packages for Ubuntu, Debian, and RHEL, or use Passbolt Cloud hosted in Europe. A full REST API and CLI enable integrations with CI/CD pipelines, LDAP directories, and SAML identity providers, making credential rotation and automated provisioning part of the deployment pipeline.
Key benefits:
- End-to-end encryption with private keys that never leave the user's device
- Granular sharing — individual credentials or entire folders with role-based permissions
- Self-hosting on Docker, Kubernetes, Ubuntu, Debian, or RHEL with full audit logs
- Browser extensions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge with auto-fill and save
- CLI and API for automated secret retrieval and CI/CD pipeline integration
- Instant cryptographic revocation when team members leave or lose access
- SOC 2 Type II audited with publicly available third-party security reports
Passbolt Cloud is hosted exclusively in Europe, and the open-source Community Edition can be self-hosted on any infrastructure — giving teams complete GDPR-compliant control over where credentials reside. Headquartered in Luxembourg, Passbolt publishes all security audit reports publicly.
Trusted by 50,000+ organisations including Bosch, the French Ministry of Interior, GLS, and multiple European universities and public institutions.
