In this review I will be sharing my first impressions of open source password manager Passbolt<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it easy to install and use, what are the key features and is it a viable alternative to paid alternatives like 1Password, NordPass and LastPass?<\/p>\n\n\n

What is Passbolt?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passbolt is free, open source, PHP based software that enables users to share login credentials, notes and other sensitive information securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passbolt is available in 3 flavours<\/a>: Community, Business and Enterprise. Business and Enterprise are paid tiers so, in the FOSS<\/a> spirit; we will be taking a look at the free version: Community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the key features that Passbolt Community includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
