After using PASSBOLT for a while, you get a buildup of password entries and some may no longer be needed - but there is extreme hesitation to DELETE any due to the risk. This often results in a long list of old and new password entries returned for searches.

What is really needed is a a simple check box FLAG field “inactive” or “archived”. Then add a user profile setting to toggle show/hide inactive entries.

We have solved this with a small hack which ignores any entries starting with the string “#” and just have users change the entry name to place “#” as the first character.

Would be really nice if this simple archive/inactive functionality was baked in to Passbolt.
