passbolt_api

Overview

Passbolt is an open-source password manager designed for team collaboration. Unlike personal password vaults, Passbolt is built with a sharing-first philosophy, allowing developers, system administrators, and business units to share database credentials, API tokens, and server secrets securely within organizations using GnuPG-based cryptography.

It features comprehensive access control, audit logging, and integration with browser extensions to auto-fill forms securely. Being self-hostable via Docker or custom servers ensures that companies retain absolute control over where their encrypted vaults reside. While installing and configuring the initial PHP API server and GPG keys require some operational discipline, the collaborative security and granular access rights it provides are highly valuable for modern businesses.
