  Thoughts and reviews about Passbolt? TOTP handling seems a bit off, extensions are not mostly read-only (OK for me). But the "share a single secret" access control seems nice:

  PHP backend (IMHO a downside): https://github.com/passbolt/passbolt_api. But There appears to be a significant amount of auditing behind Passbolt's security claims, assuming the information on https://www.passbolt.com/security is accurate.

• Preferred password manager?
  1 project | /r/sysadmin | 25 Jul 2023

  Here's another to add to the list, Passbolt. It is open source and basically built for teams and enterprise. It is design primarily with a unique security model which is based on asymmetric end-to-end encryption, with user-owned encryption keys and support easy cross functional team collaboration. Can it hosted on-prem or host it in cloud depending on your preference. Might be too much information and a tad bias as I work here but wanted you to have all the information as passbolt fits your requirement for business level password manager.

• Recommend me a password manager
  1 project | /r/sysadmin | 26 Apr 2023

  I might be bias here as I work here but another recommendation would be passbolt. Open source password manager that is built for teams and businesses. You can either self-host or host it in the cloud, really depending on what you require and supports secure granular sharing of credentials with nested permission in just a few clicks. Its a solution that is built with security as a top priority. It supports asymmetric end-to-end encryption based on OpenPGP cryptography using both public-private key for encryption/decryption. No secret key is stored on the server side. Both the free community edition and the paid pro version are 100% open source.
