Why This Password Manager Requires a Private Key (Passbolt Interview)
Notes de l’épisode
Most password managers use your master password as the encryption key—which means it can be phished and brute-forced. Passbolt uses a random private key instead. Henry interviewed co-founder Remy about why they optimized Passbolt for teams, how granular permissions prevent credential leaks, and why self-hosting matters for businesses.
