Passbolt is a commercial password manager built for teams, offered in Community and Pro editions and run as a self-hosted server with a browser extension for daily use. It targets IT and security teams managing shared credentials across an organization, with role-based access controlrole-based access controlRole-based access control, where permissions are assigned to roles such as reader or administrator and users receive those roles. It makes access easier to manage than individual permission lists., group permissions, and encrypted metadata key rotation for shared resources. Recent work extends it toward identity infrastructure rather than just password storage: SCIMSCIMA standard for creating, updating and removing user accounts and groups across applications. It helps an identity provider keep access in sync when people join, change roles or leave. provisioning for automating user lifecycle from a directory, SSOSSOSingle sign-on, using one identity provider to sign in to multiple applications. It reduces separate passwords and centralizes account and access management. integration with providers like PingOne, and SMTP OAuthSMTP OAuthAn authentication method for SMTP email submission that replaces passwords with OAuth 2.0 tokens, letting cyber tools send mail on a user's behalf without storing credentials. 2.0 for Exchange Online, alongside audit-oriented features like secret history and import summaries. This places it in the identity-access space, closer to team password vaults with directory integration than to personal password managers. Launched in 2016, it remains actively developed, with 18 releases in the tracked window and the latest shipped 37 days ago.
Passbolt is an open source password and credential manager for teams that can be self-hosted or cloud-hosted.

Five scores for Passbolt, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.
Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows.
A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.
How this is scored
Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.
Release-note detail over time
See how much detail Passbolt puts in its release notes, quarter by quarter, and compare it with tracked tools in the same category. This history uses up to ten retained, reviewed notes per tool; sparse or blank older quarters may reflect that limit.
50 readings of Passbolt's pricing page since Sep 2021, with 1 relaunch of its plan lineup and 19 changes to what its plans include — each one dated, compared with the reading before it, and explained for someone buying the tool.
Pricing and packaging history is included with Researcher and Business. See how every vendor we track sells, and how that has changed over time, using data we don't publish anywhere else.
Each offering on the pricing page links to its own page of plans, read at its latest capture.
Plan relaunches
Plans, prices and descriptions are quoted from the vendor's own pricing page as we read it on each date.
A plan missing from a later reading is shown as no longer listed on the page — a statement about the page, not the product.
Readings that failed to show any plans are left out rather than read as a change.

How we count
Read from 3 of 49 release notes and docs updates we hold for Passbolt. "First seen" is the earliest note that names something; "last" is the latest. Our history may start partway through Passbolt's life, so an old integration can show a recent first-seen date.
Each change counts once: "added 40 checks" is one line, so the numbers measure how often coverage moves, not how big the catalogue is or how well it detects.
