Beyond Passwords

Elevate your security posture with private keys

Your organisation's security is as strong as your user’s weakest password. It’s time to move away from passwords with randomly generated private keys.

Randomly generated private key

Private keys provide an extra layer of security, allowing only key holders with the passphrase to access and decrypt data, while also ensuring a cryptographically-backed audit trail.

End-to-end encryption

Enhances security by ensuring that the private key, generated and stored on the user's device, never passes through the server, maintaining data integrity and confidentiality.

Multifactor by default

Provides a default two-factor authentication by design, requiring both a private key and a passphrase. Plus, it also supports additional MFA layers for even more robust authentication.

Brute force protection

Protects against brute force attacks by encrypting each password with a user’s auto-generated, unguessable private key - unlike legacy password managers that rely solely on the user's master password.

Phishing resistant

On top of a private key and passphrase, Passbolt uses a 3-letter token and color combination, as well as URL matching, to protect against phishing.

1:1 encryption

Passbolt encrypts each password individually for granular, containerised data privacy, ensuring that the compromise of one password does not affect others.

Interoperable

Passbolt is built on top of a JSON API and uses interoperable cryptography (OpenPGP). All operations can be run from any server using our CLI or SDKs.

Admin controlled recovery mechanisms

Passbolt offers an account recovery feature, allowing users to regain access with admin approval, and provides organisation-wide policies for account recovery preferences.

Run it on your own server, natively

Stay in control of your data, deploy passbolt within minutes, on-prem or on infrastructure you already trust.
