Review summary

Users appreciate Passbolt's open-source nature, privacy focus, and feature parity with desktop versions, especially for team password management and self-hosting. However, multiple reviews highlight significant issues with app performance, such as lag, crashes, unreliable autofill, and poor offline support. The UI needs improvement in readability and user control. The app also struggles with certain authentication methods and QR code scanning. Despite these drawbacks, many users find it a secure alternative to mainstream password managers and value its customization potential.

Pros

Open source and privacy-oriented password manager with self-hosting capability.
Great integration with desktop and web versions, providing feature parity across platforms.
Support for multiple accounts and suitable for team use, enabling password delegation.
Clean and slick user interface as noted by some users.
Provides secure functionality and control over own data, appealing to advanced and privacy-conscious users.

Cons

Autofill feature is unreliable, often not working or causing crashes.
App performance issues such as lagging, crashing, and hanging, especially with fingerprint authentication and QR code scanning.
Lack of offline support, forcing constant internet connection for access.
Poor user interface aspects such as tiny fonts, poor color choices, and difficult text readability.
No support for self-signed SSL certificates, limiting use in some business LAN setups.
Some inconvenient workflows in creating/editing entries and sharing passwords with groups.

2025-12-29	Br*****	autofill not always working. does not assist when new credentials are created for apps or websites. all settings enabled. no offline mode makes the app load slowly each time. 2.5.0 didn't fix a thing. only made search terrible. the search starts while typing and the cursor is moved around. this is on OnePlus 12 oxygen16. many fields still undetected as credentials fields.

2025-10-06	Ti*****	Great open source enterprise level password manager. I self host it and it works great for me. Sometimes the autofill does not work or Blocks the keyboard and it is pretty difficult to Hit the close button, but for the functionality worth it. I love the new multiple URI feature and the Browser extension is also great. i reccomend it highly.

2025-03-23	t0*****	Linking is super simple with the QR code and an even supports my fingerprint reader. Doesn't pick up on ever autofill in every integrated app's browser such as mail but for duckduckgo and my Chrome browser it appears correctly. 5/5 (I use the community edition on my own server)
