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 Tango?
Tango's 2026 releases stay on workflow guides, capped by a rebrand and basic editor shortcuts.
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and its 2026 releases deepened that core: voice narration during capture, branching for different paths, translations, video embeds and Enterprise governance. The latest entries are a September rebrand with new fonts and colors and undo/redo shortcuts in edit mode. The AI CRM Admin browser agent launched in April 2025 has had no follow-up in the feed since.

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.
Tango
0.0COLLAB
Tango's 2026 releases stay on workflow guides, capped by a rebrand and basic editor shortcuts.
◆ Current state
Tango captures browser workflows into step-by-step guides, and its 2026 releases deepened that core: voice narration during capture, branching for different paths, translations, video embeds and Enterprise governance. The latest entries are a September rebrand with new fonts and colors and undo/redo shortcuts in edit mode. The AI CRM Admin browser agent launched in April 2025 has had no follow-up in the feed since.
◆ Where it's heading
The documentation product gets steady depth features while the AI agent bet has gone quiet in the changelog. The rebrand suggests a repositioning, but the entry does not say toward what.
◆ Prediction
It is unclear from the entries whether the rebrand signals a renewed AI agent push or a refocus on documentation; the next feature release should show which.
