Passbolt 5.12.0 makes the Safari browser extension generally available, ending the open beta period. This release also introduces a new PIN code resource type, along with improvements to TOTP field detection and the usual round of security and dependency updates.
The Safari extension is now offered by default to all Safari users, on equal footing with Chrome, Firefox, and Edge.
This milestone reflects months of work across both our internal testing and the open beta period, during which organisations enabled the extension on their own instances and gave feedback. Many thanks to everyone who joined the TestFlight program for the open beta. Your feedback shaped this release.
Passbolt 5.12 introduces a dedicated Pin Code resource type for securely storing standalone PINs such as door access codes, safes, alarm systems, SIM codes, or device unlock codes.
Unlike workarounds based on passwords or custom fields, Pin Codes now have their own dedicated form, icon, validation, and generation flow. PINs are strictly numeric and support 4 to 12 digits in accordance with the ISO 9564-1 standard.
Users can create, view, copy, and generate PIN codes directly from the browser extension, optionally alongside a secure note. A dedicated PIN code column can also be displayed in the resource grid, while administrators can enable or disable the resource type from the administration settings.
Import and export are supported for both CSV and KDBX formats, with automatic detection of compatible PIN code entries during import. This release also lays the groundwork for additional resource types in future releases.
As usual, this release ships some third-party dependency upgrades and security advisory fixes, with no user-visible impact.
The release also refines the browser extension's detection of TOTP fields to reduce false positives in autofill. Many thanks to the community members who reported cases where the extension picked up unintended fields. Clearly integrating with the wide variety of forms across the web is a community effort, and your feedback is what makes it possible.
For administrators, the action logs purge command now covers additional entries, improving the audit logs performance.
Many thanks to everyone who tried the Safari open beta, reported autofill issues, and contributed to making Passbolt better.
Passbolt is also preparing for offline mode support, allowing users to securely access encrypted resources even when temporarily disconnected from the server. More details will be shared in upcoming releases!
