- free open source
- group management can be delegated
- works fine with mac, linux & windows browsers
- maintenance free self hosted on k8s for 2 years
- lack of mobile apps has not been issue
- UX is ok, no complaints
- requires little end-user support - only password field is encrypted
- no warning that Notes are not encrypted
- promises ‘Secure files & notes (Coming soon)’
for more than year
- password generator has no complexity options
- requires browser plugin
- user passwords have no minimum entropy requirements
- no helm chart, used our own
Noticed that former lead developer https://github.com/markstory now works on Sentry. Sentry has same list of Pros as above: it ’just works’ without maintenance or support, running self hosted on k8s for free.

- It's still OSS, so you can self-host, which is a big selling point for me
- There's a managed/hosted option, which is a big selling point for probably most users
- It's got a browser plugin à la BitWarden/1Password, which is a crucial feature for any well-polished password manager (and hopefully it also comes with Android autofill integration)
Hopefully Passbolt, BitWarden and others can keep eachother on their toes and help this be an innovative and widely accessible space!
Expanding on that last point: I'm a huge fan of the general idea of having the option of self-hosting with a business model revolving around a paid, managed option, for password managers or otherwise.

Which reminds me, I've been meaning to make a plain-text archiver for this -- to print out secrets and put them in my safe.

Especially considering the 4 hour SLA on phone support for the enterprise version. If the password management system is down, work stops. I'd rather not have to break the glass on the emergency god account at all.

Since, we were on Keybase already for employee identity and chat, we created an extension to encpass.sh to use Keybase for our secret storage. (https://github.com/plyint/encpass.sh/blob/master/extensions/...) It has been working really well so far, as when we add someone to a Keybase team, that person immediately has access to that team's secrets. No extra setup required.

For my purchasing decision, I’d lean heavily on the probability the service will be there in 5 years (it’s obvious I’m getting older I guess), as the market seems pretty mature.

Seems quite similar:

One of my teams shares passwords as well. We use KeePass over WebDAV. Works for us. I fail to see the market niche here.

And is password sharing a good idea to begin with?
