Superstylin | Browser Extension & API

Passbolt 5.18.0 "Superstylin" introduces custom themes to personalize your workspace, expands Quick Access support to Secure Notes and Custom Fields, and enhances autofill reliability. This release also drives performance improvements on sharing operations, updates dependencies, and brings in essential security fixes.

Themes

The 5.18 release adds two new custom theme options, Sakura and Layette, providing enhanced personalization for the user's workspace appearance.

These themes allow users to adapt the interface to their personal preferences while maintaining consistent user experience throughout the application.

More resource types in Quick Access

Passbolt 5.18 expands Quick Access support to Secure Notes and Custom Fields, allowing users to access all their resources directly from Quick Access. Users can quickly search, preview, and copy these resources without opening the full Passbolt application. 

Both resource types seamlessly integrate with Offline Mode, ensuring they remain accessible even when disconnected from the server. Additionally, Quick Access automatically suggests relevant Notes and Custom fields for a website if the URL matches. 

Additional Improvements

This release brings autofill improvements to enhance reliability on high-resolution displays and refines recognition logic on login forms to ensure smooth auto-filling. Also, large sharing operations are now more than twice as fast, speeding up access updates when sharing 200 or more resources at once.

Maintenance and Security

Passbolt 5.18 strengthens the Duo second factor. Duo now confirms that the account completing it belongs to the user signing in, so a compromised first factor can no longer be paired with a different Duo account. The check is on by default when enabling Duo for the organization for the first time. On existing ones it stays off until an administrator enables it, so align each user's Duo identifier with their Passbolt email first to avoid locking anyone out.

A detailed security bulletin will follow with more information about the security issues addressed in this release. In addition, routine dependency upgrades have been completed to keep the application fast and secure.

Conclusion

Many thanks to everyone who provided feedback, reported bugs and contributed to making Passbolt better.
