In the new version, we have introduced the capability to create custom vault types with automatically assigned administrators, refined the inheritance of group-based access rights and handling of TOTP code parameters, as well as made numerous fixes and improvements.

Vault types

In Passwork 7.1, you can create custom vault types with flexible settings tailored to your organization’s needs:

Each vault type allows you to assign dedicated administrators, set restrictions on vault creation and define a creator's access level
When you create a vault or change it's type, select corporate administrators automatically gain access to it. Other administrators won't be able to lower their access level or remove them altogether
Now you can set up different vault types for various departments or projects, assign relevant administrators, and configure permissions for specific tasks

Viewing all system vaults

We've added an ability to view all vaults created within the organization, including the private ones. The list displays only the names of the vaults as well as users and groups that have access to them, while the vault contents are still available strictly to users with direct access. This opens up extensive opportunities for system-wide data storage audits. Access to the vault list is determined by role settings.

Improvements

Improved the logic of inheriting access from multiple groups: now if a user belongs to groups with both "Full access" and "Forbidden" rights to a specific directory, the 'Forbidden' access level will be applied
Added "Access level required to leave vaults" and "Access level required to copy folders and passwords" settings
Added the option to show a custom banner to unauthenticated users: when the "Show to unauthenticated users" option is enabled, the banner will be visible on the sign-in, sign-up, master password and password reset pages
Added processing of digits and period parameters during TOTP code generation
Added clickable links to vaults, folders, passwords, roles, groups, and users in notifications
Added transfer of user session history when migrating from Passwork 6

Bug fixes

Fixed an issue where the 2FA setup page did not appear when logging into Passwork after enabling "Mandatory 2FA" in role settings
Fixed incorrect counting of failed login attempts with active "Limit on failed login attempts within a specified time frame" setting
Fixed an issue where mobile app and browser extension sessions were not reset after disabling "Enable mobile apps" and "Enable browser extensions" in role settings
Fixed an issue where Activity log filtered by a particular vault showed events from folders inside the vault: now, only events at the selected nesting level are displayed
Fixed an issue where a search by color tag did not work for some passwords
Fixed an issue where user data could be updated on LDAP login despite disabled "Allow user modification during LDAP synchronization" setting
Fixed an issue in the export window where unchecking all folders inside a vault also unchecked the vault itself
Fixed incorrect behavior of the "Automatically log out after inactivity" setting
Fixed incorrect display of notes
Fixed incorrect redirect to the password's or shortcut's initial directory after editing these items in Favorites
Fixed an issue where the item deletion date in the Bin was reset during migration from Passwork 6

Passwork 7.0.9 release

Releases

Jun 30, 2025 — 4 min read

In the new version, we've introduced an option to share passwords with groups of users, implemented support for the OTPAuth encryption algorithm for generating TOTP codes, added internal link support between the 6th and 7th versions of Passwork, and resolved various UI and localization issues.

Now you can send passwords to a group of users — a new Groups field has been added to the password-sharing modal window. Password access updates automatically:

When new users are added to a group, they will immediately see the password in their Inbox
When users are removed from a group, the password will disappear from their Inbox
If the same password is shared with a user both directly and through a group, the access level set directly will take precedence

Improvements

Added support for links to vaults, folders, passwords, shortcuts, and other entities between the 6th and 7th versions of Passwork
Added support for the OTPAuth encryption algorithm for generating TOTP codes
Added a Forbidden by role tooltip for settings unavailable to users due to role limitations
Added detailed logging of SSO settings changes
Added an option to view the action history for shortcuts linked to deleted passwords
Added the option to navigate to a shortcut's directory from additional access modal windows, provided users has access to the specified directories
Added an empty state for the data export modal window
Disabled checkboxes for directories in User management if the user has Full access or lower permissions for them
Updated the appearance of deleted shortcut card

Bug fixes

Passwork 7.0.5 release

Releases

May 6, 2025 — 6 min read

In Passwork 7, we improved everything: completely rewrote the code using the latest technologies, implemented a full-fledged API, updated the interface, redesigned groups and roles, abandoned the automatic addition of system administrators to vaults, and made access rights management even more flexible. This will significantly enhance the convenience of administration and password management, as well as greatly accelerate the development of new features.

Updated interface

We redesigned the Passwork interface and updated all key sections — took into account many requests and fixed logical and functional errors while preserving the familiar convenience of working with passwords. We also added the ability to customize column widths and move interface elements — each user will be able to adapt it to their needs.

Expanded API functionality

We significantly expanded the API functionality — now it allows full interaction with all Passwork features: from copying passwords to managing users and security settings.

To simplify working with the API, we prepared an official Python connector — a developer library that allows integrating Passwork with applications and scripts in Python, and the Passwork-CLI utility, which enables working with the API from the command line.

Instead of API keys, tokens are now used — a more modern and reliable way to access the system. In addition, API access settings have been moved to the role page.

New backend and frontend

We completely updated the code using more modern methods — this will improve performance and simplify the initial installation of Passwork. Moreover, the new code will become the basis for developing desktop applications and will significantly speed up the introduction of new features.

User roles

We updated the status system by combining administrative rights and user settings, and renamed them to Roles — now, instead of two standard statuses Administrator and Employee, you can create an unlimited number of roles with individual rights and settings.

User groups

What was called Roles in previous versions has been renamed to Groups, making the user management process more intuitive and closer to common standards, such as those used in Active Directory. Groups allow restricting user access to vaults based on certain privileges.

Updated vault structure

We simplified the vault structure — instead of organization vaults and personal vaults, users will be able to create private vaults. A private vault becomes shared when other users are added to it. At the same time, administrators are no longer automatically added to new vaults.

The updated vault structure ensures reliable encryption and offers new possibilities for password management, making the process more convenient and secure.

Vault access confirmation

When adding users to groups, they will no longer automatically receive access to other users' vaults — access will require confirmation from the vault administrator. Users who gained access to a vault during LDAP synchronization also need to be confirmed. This provides additional control and prevents unauthorized access to vault contents.

Changing access levels

We’ve reworked the access level system and introduced a number of changes to some of them:

Navigation level has been replaced by an ability to view all parent directories of the folder the access level is applied to
Users with the Full access level now can view access levels of other users, manage additional access, view the history of changes within the directory and analyze passwords available to them via Security dashboard
Added the ability to assign administrative rights to users in folders. The Administration access level is inherited by child folders without the ability to change it

History of actions and notifications

We’ve expanded the list of actions that are logged, updated their descriptions and completely reworked the notification system. Soon after the release we are going to introduce notification settings, which will add flexibility to keeping track of important changes and user actions.

Using shortcuts

In order to enhance security, we’ve made some changes to the way shortcuts work:

It is now impossible to copy shortcuts for passwords which don’t allow shortcut creation
Folders which include shortcuts unavailable to a user will now be copied without them

Adding tags to passwords

Now when you create or edit a password, you will be able to pick a tag from a list of already created ones. This has an added benefit of preventing creation of tags with the same name (sales ↔ Sales, etc.). When selecting tags, only those available in the user's vaults will be displayed.

Changes to 2FA reset flow

When you reset your authorization password, two-factor authentication now won’t be reset along with it. Users won’t be able to reset 2FA without a successful login, which increases security.

Account locking option

We’ve introduced an account locking feature. You will be able to set a limit on failed login attempts, timeframe for tracking the failed attempts and lockout duration.

Other changes

Tidied settings up by making their structure more clear
Added automatic retrieval of email and name from single sign-on systems (SSO)
Added settings for automatic clearing of sessions, notifications and background tasks
Added the ability to enable a system banner that will be visible to all Passwork users. You can use it for important notifications, alerts or instructions
Added an ability to choose a time zone and date & time format
Updated filters in key sections for faster and simpler search

Upgrading to Passwork 7

To upgrade to version 7.0, you’ll need to update your Passwork to version 6.5, migrate your data, and confirm this in the customer portal. Upgrade instructions can be found here.

We recommend exploring the new features and data migration specifics in a test environment before updating your self-hosted version. For testing, you can deploy Passwork 7 on a separate server — this will allow you to review all the changes in the new version without affecting your current working environment.

Passwork 6.4, we have introduced a number of changes which enhance our browser extension security, make user permissions settings more flexible, and improve the logging of settings related changes:

Mandatory extension PIN code
Logging of all changes related to settings
User access to history of actions with passwords
Automatic updating of LDAP group lists

Mandatory extension PIN code

With the new setting ‘Mandatory PIN code in extension’, administrators can set a mandatory browser extension PIN code for all users, minimizing potential unauthorized access. Once enabled, users who have not yet set a PIN code will be prompted to do so upon their next login to the extension. Users will be able to configure their auto-lock timeout and change the PIN code, but they cannot disable these functions.

The ‘Mandatory PIN code in extension’ setting is located in the ‘API, extension and mobile app’ section of the System settings

Now all changes in the Account settings, User management, LDAP settings, SSO settings, License info, and Background tasks are displayed in the Activity log.

All changes related to settings logged in the Activity log in the Settings and users

History of actions with passwords

The new setting ‘Who can view the history of actions with passwords’ makes it possible for vault administrators to let other users view password history, password editions, and receive notifications related to their changes. Previously, these features were available only to vault administrators.

You can customize this feature in the Vaults section of the System settings

Automatic updating of LDAP group lists

Automatic updating of LDAP group lists can now be configured on the Groups tab in the LDAP settings. The update is performed through background tasks with a selected time interval.

To configure LDAP group list updates, select LDAP server, go to the Groups tab, and click the Edit settings button

Other improvements

Added pop-up notifications when exporting data or moving data to the Bin
Improved display of dropdown lists on the Activity log page
Changed time display format of the ‘Automatic logout when inactive’ and ‘Maximum lifetime of the session when inactive’ settings
Changed the Enabled / Disabled dropdown lists on the System settings and LDAP settings pages with toggles
Increased minimum length of generated passwords to six characters

Bug fixes

Fixed an issue that occurred when trying to copy a password found in search results without opening any vaults right after logging into Passwork
Fixed an issue that occurred when a password was sent to another user and remained on the recipient's Recents and Starred pages after the initial password was moved to the Bin
Fixed the value in the time field for the ‘API key rotation period (in hours)’ setting which was reset to zero after disabling it
Fixed incorrect event logging in the Activity log after changing folder permissions
Fixed incorrect text notification about assigning access rights to a user through a role
Fixed incorrect tooltip text when hovering over the username of a recently created user
Fixed incorrect display of long invitation titles
Removed the local registration page when the LDAP server is enabled

Passwork 6.4

Releases

Feb 14, 2024 — 4 min read

In Passwork 6.3, we have implemented numerous changes that significantly improve organization management efficiency, provide more flexible user permission settings, and increase security:

Administrative rights
Hidden vaults
Improved private vaults
Improved settings interface

Administrative rights

Available with the Advanced license

Now there is no need to make users administrators in order to grant them specific administrative rights. This option is a response to one of the most frequent requests from our customers.

Administrators can grant only those rights or permissions that are necessary for users to fulfill their duties and flexibly customize access to settings sections and manage Passwork. For instance, you can grant employees the right to create and edit new users, view the history of user activity, track settings changes, while restricting access to organization vaults and System settings.

You can configure additional rights on the Administrative rights tab in User management. There are four settings sections to flexibly customize Passwork for your business:

General
In this section, you can grant users access rights to manage all existing and new organization vaults, view the history of actions with settings and users, access license info and upload license keys, view and modify the parameters of SSO settings and Background tasks.

User management
In this section, you can grant users access rights to view and modify User management parameters. This includes performing any necessary actions with users and roles, such as creating, deleting, and editing users, changing their authorization type and sending invitations.

System settings
In this section of settings, you can grant users the right to view and modify specific groups of System settings.

LDAP settings
In this section, you can grant users the right to view and modify LDAP parameters which include adding and deleting servers, registering new users, managing group lists, viewing and configuring synchronization settings.

Activity log
The event of changing user administrative rights has been added to the Activity log. All changes are now recorded in the Activity log, that includes the users who initiated such changes as well as each setting that was modified with its previous and current values.

Interface improvements

Users with additional administrative rights are marked with a special icon next to their user status.

Some items remain unavailable until the necessary settings have been activated. When hovering your cursor over such items, a tooltip with information regarding dependent settings will be displayed.

Hidden vaults

In the previous versions of Passwork only organization administrators were able to hide vaults. Also, only organization vaults could be hidden. In this new version, all users can hide any vaults. Hiding makes vaults invisible only to the users who choose to do it and does not affect others.

Hidden vault management is now carried out in a new window, which is available directly from the list of vaults. You can view the list of all available vaults and customize their visibility there.

Private vault improvements

Displaying private vaults in User management
Besides hiding private vaults, employees with User management access can now see all vaults which they administer (including private vaults). The new feature which makes it possible to add users to private vaults has also been added to User management.

Logging of events in private vaults
Private vault administrators can view all events related to their vaults in the Activity log.

Other changes

Fixed an issue which prevented users from changing their temporary master password
Fixed an issue which prevented users from setting the minimum length for authorization and master passwords
Fixed an issue in User management which made administrator self-deletion possible
