Passbolt vs Prowlarr: at a glance
What is Passbolt?
Passbolt adds passkeys for MFA and rebuilds autofill detection, with passwordless still to come.
Passbolt 5.17 adds passkeys as a second factor in every edition and rebuilds autofill detection, raising form detection on its internal test set from 74% to 93.4%. It also brings the permission review to moves of resources and folders, as earlier notes promised. The previous release, 5.16, added a read-only Offline Mode in beta for when the server is unreachable.
What is Prowlarr?
Prowlarr adds Trusted Networks and host validation, then moves to 2.7
Prowlarr, the indexer manager for the *arr apps, ships patch releases every one to three weeks. 2.6.5 added a Trusted Networks setting and hostname validation, with follow-up fixes to Allowed Hosts logging and health checks. 2.7.0 bundled wildcard IP support in Allowed Hosts, IMDb search for BroadcasTheNet, a longer AvistaZ rate limit and base64 decoding in Cardigann definitions.

Passbolt
2.5COLLAB
Passbolt adds passkeys for MFA and rebuilds autofill detection, with passwordless still to come.
◆ Current state
Passbolt 5.17 adds passkeys as a second factor in every edition and rebuilds autofill detection, raising form detection on its internal test set from 74% to 93.4%. It also brings the permission review to moves of resources and folders, as earlier notes promised. The previous release, 5.16, added a read-only Offline Mode in beta for when the server is unreachable.
◆ Where it's heading
The access-review arc that began with 5.14 has reached moves, so it is close to complete. The next arc is authentication: passkeys for MFA are stated as a first step, with passkey storage for third-party sites and passwordless sign-in to Passbolt named as follow-ups. Offline Mode and QuickAccess are also being extended resource type by resource type.
◆ Prediction
The next releases should deliver passkey storage as a resource type, with passwordless sign-in after it. Further resource types will move into QuickAccess and Offline Mode, as the 5.17 notes say.
Prowlarr
5.0COLLAB
Prowlarr adds Trusted Networks and host validation, then moves to 2.7
◆ Current state
Prowlarr, the indexer manager for the *arr apps, ships patch releases every one to three weeks. 2.6.5 added a Trusted Networks setting and hostname validation, with follow-up fixes to Allowed Hosts logging and health checks. 2.7.0 bundled wildcard IP support in Allowed Hosts, IMDb search for BroadcasTheNet, a longer AvistaZ rate limit and base64 decoding in Cardigann definitions.
◆ Where it's heading
Security settings that limit which hosts and networks can reach the app are the main thread since September, rolled out in step with Lidarr. Indexer definitions keep getting small compatibility fixes.
◆ Prediction
More indexer-level fixes and Allowed Hosts follow-ups are likely in 2.7 patches.
