Overview
Passbolt is a team-oriented, open-source password manager built on OpenPGP, with granular sharing, API access, and self-hosting, popular with technical teams.
Capability deep-dive
Granular sharing, API and CLI access, and open-source self-hosting are the strengths for technical teams. The OpenPGP model adds setup complexity, and consumer polish is not the focus. SSO and LDAP are in the paid editions.
Pricing
Open-source community edition free; paid Pro and cloud tiers.
Bottom line
A strong open-source, team-first password manager for technical organizations.
