Release Date: August 12, 2025
It’s My Life (5.4.0)
Passbolt 5.4.0 brings one of our most significant updates yet: encrypted metadata is now stable and widely available.
-
New resource types from day one → icons, multiple URIs, and custom fields are available out-of-the-box for all new instances.
-
Default for new instances → encrypted metadata is enabled automatically.
-
Simple upgrade path for existing instances → admins can enable it with a single click. Migration is manual by design: users can migrate items individually, or admins can roll out an organization-wide update with the new migration tool.
This approach means no disruption to existing workflows or integrations, while giving teams full control over when and how to transition.
Other highlights
-
Secure notes up to 50,000 characters → big enough for full certificate chains, long keys, or detailed internal documentation.
-
Elliptic-curve keys (Curve25519/Ed25519) → default for new users, offering stronger performance and smaller payloads, with security on par with RSA-3072.
-
New language support → Passbolt speaks Czech
.
Ain’t No Sunshine (5.4.1)
Shortly after 5.4.0, we shipped 5.4.1 to address several issues reported in the 5.x series.
Why it matters:
-
It improves overall stability of encrypted metadata and new resource types.
-
It resolves multiple regressions introduced with 5.4.0.
-
It’s the recommended upgrade path for all users.
If you’re not on 5.4.1 yet, update now to ensure you’re running the most stable version of Passbolt 5.x.
