Plus rien ne semble fonctionner, j’ai beau connecter cette dernière avec mon téléphone mais rien n’y’ fait. Je ne vois aucun mot de passe mais je peux bien en créer ### 3/5 — Not great, not bad. *2024-01-03, version 1.16.1* Works okay enough, but main annoying part is I have to enter passphrase every time. ### 4/5 — Almost 5* *2023-12-08, version 1.16.1* I REALLY wanted to love the iOS app becuase the web interface and browser extensions are so strong. The iOS app is missing the suggestive auto fill functionally that the native iCloud passwords have. I presently use Bitwarden and it had the desired auto fill functionality of the iOS app but not the same interface that Passbolt’s browser extensions offer. I was a LastPass client and really enjoyed the same functionally that Passbolt has with the icon in the text boxes for auto fill on desktop browsers. Otherwise, I really love Passbolt (self-hosted) and I look forward to the iOS app hopefully maturing and I could make a complete switch to Passbolt both personally and organizationally. ### 3/5 — No me funciona *2023-08-21, version 1.14.4* Al escanear qr da error… en la app ### 2/5 — Login with 2FA cumbersome *2023-07-24, version 1.14.4* When a 2FA code is needed, each time, you switch to your authenticator app to copy the code and switch back to Passbolt, the screen to enter the 2FA code is gone and instead the passphrase is needed again. ### 3/5 — Log in loop *2023-05-29* I enter the pass phrase and it keeps asking again **Developer response:** Hello, You can use your phone's biometric authentication instead of typing your passphrase each time. If you missed this option while configuring your account, you can enable it in your app settings. Here is the procedure: Sign in > Settings (bottom right) > App Settings > Enable Face ID toggle. Please let us know if it is not working as expected. ### 5/5 — Privat oder Geschäftlich: Die beste Wahl! *2022-07-19, version 1.7.0* Es wurden verschiedene Passwortmanager evaluiert und Passbolt hat di Auswahl gewonnen. Der Sicherheitsstandard erlaubt die Nutzung im Business-Umfeld. Die Oberfläche und der plattformübergreifende Zugriff sind hervorragend entwickelt. Mittlerweile ersetzt Passbolt den Firefox-Lockwisemanager und ich bin sehr froh, dass System im Einsatz zu haben. Die Roadmap lässt vermuten, dass Passbolt kontinuierlich weiterentwickelt wird. Weiter so! ### 5/5 — Tolle Ergänzung zur Browser Variante *2022-06-20, version 1.7.0* Die App ist eine gute und lang erwartete Ergänzung zum Zugriff per Browser auf dem Computer. Ich nutze Passbolt seit 2018 und mir gefällt die stetige Weiterentwicklung. Support gibt es im Passbolt Forum oder per Mail wenn man eine Pro Lizenz hat. In meinem Fall hatte ich 2 x Kontakt zum Support und bin sehr zufrieden mit deren unkomplizierten Hilfe. ### 5/5 — Coming for BitWarden *2022-05-11, version 1.5.0* This has a MUCH better feature list for anyone that wants to self-host a password manager for their family (like to share passwords). Keep up the good work ### 2/5 — MFA with DUO *2022-02-27, version 1.3.0* Cannot use the app with my account which requires Duo authentication ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no offline usage *2026-01-05, version 2.5.1* so it is useless if don’t have access to my self hosted server. very disappointing! ### 1/5 — Can’t connect *2025-07-15, version 2.1.0* “HTTP is forbidden” - what does ever mean? ### 1/5 — Erro de login *2025-06-22, version 2.0.0* Está com erro em importar a conta , ao digitar a senha informa o erro http forbidden ### 1/5 — Conexión incorrecta *2024-10-17, version 1.20.0* Me conecto con mi cuenta de empresa y no me trae las contraseñas almacenadas, necesito ayuda por favor. ### 1/5 — Network response decoding failed *2024-08-14, version 1.19.0* Don’t synchronise at all. Error: Network response decoding failed ### 1/5 — Erro *2024-04-04, version 1.17.4* Está com erro ao importar conta. ### 1/5 — Fine on iOS but very bad on iPadOS *2024-03-06, version 1.16.1* Passbolt is the best system for my requirements with just some minor limitations. I would love to move passwords to folders on iOS but it is fine doing that via the Web App. Normally this would be 4 or 5 stars for me, but I was asked to review the app on iPadOS and there it is just an iOS App with no support for the larger screen at all, this needs to change. ### 2/5 — App mit vielen Schwächen *2025-09-02, version 2.2.0* Grundsätzlich eine gute Ergänzung für das iPhone, allerdings hat die App leider viele schwächen. - Warum kann die App nicht Offline verwendet werden? - Warum kann ich keine Ordner auswählen oder anlegen? - Warum kann ich keine benutzerdefinierten Felder anzeigen oder anlegen? - Was ist mit der iPad Version, die iPhone Version ist etwas unhandlich auf einem iPad? Insgesamt ist die App etwas lieblos entwickelt worden und hätte noch viel Luft nach oben. Und dann fehlt noch die Unterstützung für Passkeys! Immer mehr Dienste verlangen nicht mehr nach dem alten Passwort sondern nach Passkeys, deshalb benötige ich hierfür eine weitere App. ### 2/5 — Incompleta *2024-12-15* Non è possibile spostare le password in una nuova cartella. Manca il supporto ad altre lingue. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2024-10-05, version 1.20.0* I keep running into this issue where I can’t retrieve my database from my hosted server. It’s really irritating to not have my passwords sync. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it *2025-12-22, version 2.5.0* By far the best password manager I’ve ever used, paid or self hosted! ### 5/5 — Security Engineer Approved *2025-08-27, version 2.2.0* 20 years in IT, half on cybersec. Truly, I tell you: Passbolt is the real deal. Very few cybersec companies dare to have a project open-sourced and even less to sustain the commitment for years without rug pulling. Kudos for being noble and (really) caring about security, that’s quite rare nowadays. ### 5/5 — This app rocks 🤘 *2025-06-25, version 2.1.0* Great gob!! I use this app too often because it’s able to fetch all my passwords stored in my own server. Thanks guys ### 5/5 — Hosting this!!!! *2025-03-06, version 1.21.0* I was in need of open-source security so I got this running through Docker on my Raspberry Pi and can shut it down when breaches are imminent….. 😃 ### 5/5 — Vive l’open source *2025-03-05, version 1.21.0* Super app, peut gérer plusieurs comptes si par exemple vous avez un compte pro et perso. ### 5/5 — Superb *2024-10-07* The app works so well! ### 5/5 — App does’nt work on iOS and iPadOS since a month now *2024-05-12, version 1.18.0* App does’nt work on iOS and iPadOS since a month now. The New password is not fetch on the app since the latest iOS update. ### 5/5 — This stuff is great *2023-10-11, version 1.16.1* To think that this is free is crazy because the sheer quality of this app/service is superb. It’s fairly easy to set up if you have the know-how and you’ll get up and running pretty quickly, Thanks to NetworkChuck for introducing me to this, and thank you all for making such a great service! ### 5/5 — The best *2023-03-25, version 1.13.0* Self hosted password manager. ### 5/5 — 2022 Password Management Award Winner *2022-07-21, version 1.7.0* Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Passbolt is open source and provides great support. Audited, secure and safe. I stopped using Apple Keychain and switched to a private self hosted password management solution provided by Passbolt. I use the FOSS Community Edition version and I am a very happy user 😀 With the Passbolt app you own your data! Passbolt is a private secure cross platform password manager. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
