What is Passbolt?

Passbolt is a security-first, open-source password manager built in Luxembourg specifically for teams and organizations. Unlike consumer-focused password managers, Passbolt is designed from the ground up for collaborative password sharing in business environments. The platform uses end-to-end encryption based on OpenPGP, ensuring that even Passbolt administrators cannot access your team's credentials. Organizations can choose between Passbolt Cloud (hosted on servers powered by 100% renewable energy) or self-hosted deployments for maximum control. Being headquartered in the heart of the European Union makes Passbolt an ideal choice for GDPR-conscious businesses.

🔒 Privacy & Data Protection

As a Luxembourg-based company within the European Union, Passbolt operates under strict EU data protection regulations including GDPR. The open-source nature of the software means anyone can audit the code for security vulnerabilities or backdoors. Passbolt Cloud infrastructure runs exclusively in the EU, and organizations requiring maximum security can self-host on their own servers. The OpenPGP encryption ensures that credentials are encrypted before leaving your browser, making it technically impossible for Passbolt to access your passwords.
