Review summary

Users generally find Passbolt easy to use, reliable in self-hosted/company setups, and suitable for teams. Recurrent negatives: the Firefox add-on can break or slow some sites (notably YouTube), and many users object that the browser extension is required to access the web vault.

Pros

Reliable and stable in private/self-hosted and company deployments (multiple users report it works flawlessly)
Easy to use with a good user experience
Suited for teams/enterprise use

Cons

Causes browser performance/compatibility problems on some sites (notably YouTube) — users disable the addon to restore site functionality
The extension is required to access the web vault/site (users complain they cannot browse passwords without installing the addon)

2025-04-03	Fi*****	I've installed it because it's mandatory to use the passbolt data (even if I need to use it only from the web page) and now that is installed as a plugin, my firefox has begun to slow down so much that it's impossible to ear music in youtube and many other actions are also slowed down. I have to disable the passbolt each time I start firefox to be able to use correctly the browser and if I remove the plugin (as I've already done) I can't access anymore the web site that contains the passwords. So I highly discourage this tool if you are not forced to use it by some reason, use keepass2 instead as I do !

2024-08-23	Fi*****	Why do i need the extension in order to access the site containing the passwords ? I don't want to install the extension, i just want to login to the site, and browse the passwords...Next time, ask 1password for good ideas, you can perfectly access to the site without any app...
