Hi Guys,

is it possible to install passbolt without the extension or is it necessary?  
(Reason behind that is, out organisation does not allow/like browser extensions)

Also can I only create Administrator accounts via Email inventation or can I configure that manully in passbolt without to send emails?

regards

Hi @yoloknight Yes passbolt extension uses a backend API and so it is possible to use passbolt without an extension.

However if you are asking about a browser based access to passbolt that does not use an extension then no, this is not how it works. The extension is actually the component that provides the unique security profile of the app.

It is possible to use the command line to create user accounts. [How to create a user manually in cli - #2 by remy](https://community.passbolt.com/t/how-to-create-a-user-manually-in-cli/2118/2) for reference, though you will likely need to adjust the commands for your install with respect to the file locations and user permissions.
