Passbolt v0.6.0, named "Summer is Ending", introduces exclusive features for Pro users, alongside enhancements available to everyone. These updates are geared towards empowering teams with even more control and flexibility over their password management practices.
At the heart of this release is the introduction of the Password Expiry feature, a much-anticipated functionality that allows administrators to enable the automatic expiry policy, enhancing security by ensuring that potentially passwords are rotated when someone loses access to resources, for example by leaving a group or the organization.
A standout feature of this release for Passbolt Pro Edition is the advanced Password Expiry settings. Administrators now have the ability to define comprehensive password expiry policies, ensuring that your team's password hygiene is not just compliant with industry standards but also customized to fit your organization's specific needs. This feature is complemented by the ability for users to mark passwords as expired and adjust expiry dates directly, providing both oversight and flexibility in managing sensitive information.
In addition to the Pro-exclusive features, this release brings shared enhancements with Passbolt CE, such as the inclusion of Russian language support, integration with Microsoft 365 and Outlook for SMTP settings, and the activation of the desktop application feature by default for an improved user experience.
Thank you for your ongoing support. Your feedback and contributions continue to shape Passbolt, enhancing our collective security and usability. Together, we're making password management better for everyone.
Version 0.4.0 (Release Candidate) of the desktop app from Passbolt is now available, packed full of improvements and new functionalities.
With this release, users can now configure MFA directly from the desktop application with Yubikey and TOTP, just like you would in the browser edition (Duo support is in the works for a future update). Please note that this feature is currently available for user-level settings only; admin-level settings are coming soon. Once MFA is set up using Yubikey or TOTP, you can use them for authentication within the desktop app. The experience even mirrors the web version, making the transition even smoother.
Another highlight of this release, to bolster security and safeguard against potential threats, your account kit is now signed with your private key. This ensures that the account is authenticated and it’s verified during the import process. It confirms that no changes have been made to your exported Account Kit data and verifies that it comes from a trusted source.
Upgrade to version 0.4.0 to take advantage of these improvements. Thank you for using and supporting passbolt!
