LastPass vs Passbolt: What are the differences?

Key Differences between LastPass and Passbolt

LastPass and Passbolt are popular password management tools, but they have key differences that set them apart from each other.

  1. Pricing Model: LastPass offers both free and premium plans, with additional features available at a cost. Passbolt, on the other hand, is an open-source tool that provides free access to all of its features, making it a more cost-effective option for businesses.

  2. Hosting Options: LastPass is a cloud-based password manager, which means all passwords are stored on their servers. Passbolt, however, allows users to host their own password management server, giving them more control over their data and ensuring increased security.

  3. Security Model: LastPass uses a master password to encrypt user data, which is stored on their servers. Passbolt, on the other hand, uses OpenPGP and a public-private keypair to encrypt and decrypt passwords, ensuring an additional layer of security.

  4. User Management: In LastPass, users can be added to shared folders with different access levels, allowing for collaboration. Passbolt also allows for user management, but instead of shared folders, it uses user groups and allows administrators to control access permissions at a granular level.

  5. User Interface: LastPass provides a user-friendly interface with a browser extension for easy access. Passbolt has a more minimalist interface and relies on a browser extension as well, providing a simpler user experience.

  6. Additional Features: While both LastPass and Passbolt provide core password management functionalities, LastPass offers additional features like form filling, password sharing, and password auditing. Passbolt, being an open-source tool, has a more limited set of features but allows for scalability and customization.

In summary, LastPass offers more features and a user-friendly interface, but comes with a cost. On the other hand, Passbolt is open-source, has more control over data, and provides a simpler user experience.
